Does anyone here use pipewire and jack2 at the same time? I found out that pipewire can make a jack client and directly connect to jack, but it's not working for some reason. I tried asking this in the pipewire matrix room but no one responded so I figured I'd ask here too just in case there's anyone doing this on NixOS (like I'm trying to). Well I use both, but so far I've just been manually switching between configs, one which uses PipeWire and one which uses jack. | 16:44:26 |

I used to do that, and I would still do it if I could, but unfortunately I need to run JUCE applications (ones with this annoying bug that require JACK2) as well as use multiple sound cards provided by pipewire 😕 | 21:50:56 |
| PowerUser64 | The pipewire wiki says wireplumber has an alsa.jack-device option that can be set to true to enable a bridge, but it also says it's deprecated. Despite this, the wireplumber source code still mentions the option. The nixos wiki gives an example of how to enable a similar option, which I tried mimicking to enable this other option, but it seems to not be working right or something because wireplumber doesn't create a device when I should have it enabled. | 22:07:22 |

Okay, I did some more digging and it seems that pipewire IS loading my configuration files correctly, but it just can't connect to jack for whatever reason. Not sure why yet. | 04:32:11 |

is the sound card visible in alsamixer? I think so | 09:35:07 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | So... It's not finding the file that acts as the socket. It tries to read or write from that non-existent socket, resulting in an IO error. | 13:48:23 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Possibly there is some different convention in use by PipeWire vs regular JACK. | 13:49:02 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Can you make the log more verbose at all? Maybe we can get some visibility into the socket's name. | 13:49:52 |

I think so Hmm, maybe try changing some settings on it in alsamixer then? It's possible there's a setting preventing it from outputting anything. | 18:05:47 |

Can you make the log more verbose at all? Maybe we can get some visibility into the socket's name. Good question. I'm not sure if I can. If there is a way to make it more verbose, I'm not sure what it would be. I have seen this error before when working with Jack applications, and I agree, it is a very nondescript error. | 18:07:50 |
| PowerUser64 | Maybe it's possible to enable more logging in the pipewire unit file? I might take a look there. | 18:08:46 |
| PowerUser64 | (possibly by passing -v or something to the launch command) | 18:09:37 |

| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Somebody is working on a SilverBlue image for content creation and they're including nix as one of 3 package managers: https://github.com/tulilirockz/Atomic-Studio | 03:56:50 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | I gave them my NixOS audio config as reference and they're including everything from that as default 🙂 | 04:07:47 |

| tobiasbora | Hey, I cannot record anything on the microphone (pipewire detects white noise, pulseaudio nothing) of my Dell XPS 13 (9320). Any idea how to debug this? Arch linux claims it should work, and ubuntu (provided by dell) used to be installed and it was working fine. | 00:48:01 |
