Can't connect ports in Ardour 7.5 using PW 0.3.78
- PipeWire version (
pipewire --version
): 0.3.78 - Distribution and distribution version (
PRETTY_NAME
from/etc/os-release
): Arch Linux - Desktop Environment: cinnamon 5.8.4
- Kernel version (

Description of Problem:
After updating to pipewire 0.3.78, from 0.3.77, I lost the ability to connect hardware ports in Ardour. Normally, I would either right-click at the top of the mixer strip, or open the audio-connections window, and I would be able to check the connections I wanted. For example, I could connect channels left and right from my digital interface to channels left and right of my guitar track.
Downgrading pipewire to 0.3.77 removes the problem.
How Reproducible:
After the update it was happening all the time with new projects.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Update pipewire to 0.3.78 (called 1:0.3.78-1 in Arch Linux).
- Open Ardour.
- Create an audio track.
- Try to connect the track to an external hardware source using Ardour's audio connections window.
Actual Results:
The dots that indicate the connection in the connection matrix don't stick. The connection appears to be made anyway, because I can see the corresponding lines in qpwgraph and helvum, and because when arming the track for recording the signal can be monitored. But Ardour won't record it (or won't display the recording).
Expected Results:
Clicking on the connection matrix should enable/disable the connections, recording should produce regions unequivocally, the state of the connection of ports should be consistent between Ardour and qpwgraph.
