Hi , I just installed PatchOS to use with my PiSound and despite that Audacity y working properly to output sound through it, the OS seems to be only outputting sound from the RPI headphones jack. Is there a way to make the PiSound out as the default output globally, for applications like a web browser for example?
Thx
Did you select Pisound in patchbox wizard?
Thanks for the suggestion Giedrius. I went to the whole process again (burning the sdcard with PatchOS and running the wizard for the first time)
I selected Pisound in the wizard (I uploaded an image for confirmation)
I then run the dmesg command, as suggested in the troubleshooting and follow other suggested steps
Same result: the Chromium browser is using the built-in card instead of Pisound (just tested youtube videos)
BUT Audacity and Pianoteq (at least) work well. I uploaded an image of Audacity’s Audio setup Window
dmesg_result.txt (39.9 KB)
troubleshoot_info.txt (1.9 KB)
This used to work just fine, but it looks like there’s some conflicts between the new PipeWire and the Jack server. For now, it looks like the audio must be explicitly switched up into PipeWire mode and Jack mode which most audio applications expect. Jack server is set up to start by default on Patchbox OS, you can temporarily stop it by doing this:
First close all audio applications, including the web browser. Then run this in a Terminal:
sudo systemctl stop jack
Afterwards, starting audio applications should work. To get Jack running again, either restart your system, or close all audio applications and do this:
systemctl --user stop pipewire.socket
sudo systemctl start jack
We’ll see if we can resolve this conflict in the next Patchbox OS update.
Thanks for the suggestion Giedrius.
Sadly your suggestion did not work for me.
I will wait for the next Patchbox OS update then. Thanks anyhow
Try playing around with the audio volume widget at top right, it allows you to pick the current audio device, this may be the missing step.
