Description Ferdinando Vivacqua 2024-07-04 16:05:59 UTC

Using Ardour, I'm not able to export any session anymore in any format, because the output is very distorted, even with all plugin disabled. It works properly in the real-time mode. Probably related to recent update of pipewire stack

Comment 1 Edgar Aichinger 2024-07-05 09:23:19 UTC

I can confirm the bug, I investigated a bit more and can add a few observations/comments:

It only happens when exporting ranges or whole sessions, exporting regions via context menu works without issue.
It only happens with pipewire-jack, using Ardour's jack backend. Switching to ALSA backend, also after replacing pipewire-jack by jack/libjack v1.9.22 the exported file sounds fine. 

The pipewire packages I was using are from MM:Libs (I assume the ones in OSS repo will show the same).

To me it seems this is an upstream pipewire bug.

Let's add the package maintainer to Cc.

Comment 3 Takashi Iwai 2024-07-09 13:00:37 UTC

Which pipewire package / versions do show the problem?

pipewire 1.2.0-1.1

The changelog for pipewire 1.2.1 mentions a fix for a regression in ardour export. I've submitted it to Tumbleweed a couple of days ago. Ferdinando, can you test if upgrading to 1.2.1 fixes the issue for you?

Sorry, I mean the 1.2.1 version is not available yet.

Ah, you're right, sorry. I saw it was approved two days ago, but there hasn't been any new TW release yet since then. It will be available in the next release. Let's hope that happens soon.
