Pipewire on patchbox os

hey, i was experimenting with pipewire on the rpi 5 and patchbox os, what do u think is it worth it to do, or jack is well optimised on patchbox os, so i shouldnt really mess with it?

My feeling is stick with Jack as it’s pretty well optimized in the Patchbox OS setup.

If you do experiment with it, let us know the results. :slight_smile:

i did experiment a bit, but just messed up the whole audiosystem, missmatched sample rates probably destroyed the sound output. But im sure its possible, im just really new here, and reather trying to understand already working stuff.

So in the end I realized that patchbox os already has pipewire installed. Its not running on pulseaudio and jack, its running pw and jack, but jack runs independently. I tried using my audio interface (motu m4) with pw and i opened puredata with pw-jack puredata command, so it used the pipewire-jack backend. My problem with this was that i didn’t succeed setting the buffersize of pw to lower levels (like 128) and it stayed anyhow on 1024, witch isnt suitable for realtime audio. So i decided to rather use jack and pulseaudio. I uninstalled pipewire completely, and used pulseaudio to jack module to route the not jack enables applications to jack, it works pretty nicely. I also installed also to pulseaudio, it works if i play an example sound file from alsa, but if i use raspotify to play tracks from spotify its not really working properly. For some reason i cant make it work, if u guys have some ideas please let me know.
