Package Requests - MX-23 • Re: PipeWire 1.0.0 for MX-23 main?

That would be a great addition!
I think I have a lead for the crackling. Yesterday I had strawberry playing and fired up Audacity to try and figure out inputs and suddenly it began...so yes that threw me back to MX21 when pulseaudio was misbehaving before I had figured out jackd2/p-m-j/qjackctl..
By default I see in the task manager pipewire and pipewire-pulse are running ( I haven't touched anything) and on startup pipewire(sysvinit)(I think if this is configured differently it might solve the 8 blinks on startup and prevent my interface from frying). I don't see anywhere pipewire-jack or "pw-jack" though it is installed as I see in MXPI also I found a pw-jack script in usr/bin.
How would I go about achieving what you mentioned? I couldn't find any post close enough to what you described; you might be the pioneer. Is it complicated to setup on basic MX23 Xfce?

I would follow the Debian 12 instructions here:

https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire

In my experience the trickiest part is that getting PipeWire's JACK to work invisibly like 'old' JACK still requires the manual linking instructions from the Debian 11 'For JACK' section and the file location is wrong for Debian 12 (MX-23) so here are the correct instructions:

Create this empty file (may not be necessary but it doesn't do any harm):

Code:

sudo touch /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/with-jack

Either run JACK clients using the pw-jack wrapper, or copy:

Code:

sudo cp /usr/share/doc/pipewire/examples/ld.so.conf.d/pipewire-jack-*.conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/

And run:

Code:

sudo ldconfig
