PipeASIO: native ASIO driver for Wine and PipeWire released in v1.0.0 https://playingtux.com/en/articles/2026/06/pipeasio-v100-released/ #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming

PipeASIO: native ASIO driver for Wine and PipeWire released in v1.0.0

PipeASIO, a native ASIO driver for Wine and Proton, has been released in version v1.0.0. Note: PipeASIO has no direct relation to Linux gaming - it targets users running Windows DAWs such as FL Studio, Ableton Live, or Reaper under Linux, where low-latency audio is essential for music production.\nPipeASIO connects Windows audio software directly to PipeWire, bypassing Wine’s audio layer and JACK entirely. Configuration is handled via a native Qt6 settings panel or an INI file. Requirements: PipeWire 1.6+ and Wine 10+. Arch Linux users can install via the AUR: paru -S pipeasio.\n
