    I would highly recommend installing qpwgraph. It’ll give you a visual patchbay, which will give you a better idea of what applications are exposing audio outs to pipe wire, as well as where those outs are being routed.

      I installed it but I don’t understand how it’s going to help me troubleshoot “pipewire-alsa” I assume

    If you’re on ubuntu-based distro, install the ubudustudio package for pipewire that seems to fix a few things differently than other distros.

    Oh this one’s stupid on CachyOS, regarding Ardour. With Ardour (the latest versions I tested), I was unable to place down a MIDI region due to a Pipewire regression. I told my producer, Neigsendoig, about it, and he tested it. Same exact nonsense. This was reported to the Ardour forums to see what can be done about it.
