Problem using Edirol UA-25 as input in Bitwig

  • PipeWire version (pipewire --version): 0.3.58
  • Distribution and distribution version (PRETTY_NAME from /etc/os-release): Fedora Linux 36 (Xfce)
  • Desktop Environment: xfce
  • Kernel version (uname -r): 5.19.11-200.fc36.x86_64

Description of Problem:

I can't set my audio input in Bitwig 4.3.8 to use my Edirol UA-25 analog stereo input. I'm seeing similar behavior using Bitwig's PipeWire system, as well as JACK (which appears to be using pipewire, on my fedora system).

How Reproducible:

I can reproduce this easily

Steps to Reproduce:

Assuming you have an Edirol UA-25 audio interface:

  1. Install Bitwig 4.3.8 (trial version should do)
  2. In the menus, go to Settings -> Audio
  3. In driver model, select PipeWire, or JACK
  4. Select "EDIROL UA-25 Analog Stereo / capture_F" as your Stereo In

Actual Results:

Bitwig's audio system shuts down, and can't be started again until I remove the Edirol's inputs from its Stereo In.

I get these messages in /var/log/messages from pipewire:

Expected Results:

Expected the stereo in to update successfully.
