Real talk, though: why has Linux taken at least five tries (OSS, ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio, PipeWire) to get audio right?!
I’m still waiting for the latency to be viable for playing guitar with an audio interface.
I’m using pipewire just fine to do so? I just needed to set the buffer size to something appropriately low and I’ve had no issues from popewire’s side
Maybe it’s time to give it a shot again. Does pipewire have similar functionality to voicemeeter the virtual audio cables?
Never used it, but I use something called pipewire graph or something (I’m on vacation and I can’t be bothered sorry heh)
There’s helvum and carla control that allow you to edit the entire audio graph with all ins and outs for all hardware and software so you can route it however you like. No need for VAC and such. But even if you do, you can load pulseaudio modules i.e. pactl load-module module-null-sink and then route them with qjackctl which is absolutely crazy and awesome how pipewire lets you do that.
