No audio from Scarlett 18i6 inputs in Pipewire applications (works with just ALSA)
- PipeWire version (
pipewire --version
): 0.3.72 - Distribution and distribution version (
PRETTY_NAME
from/etc/os-release
): openSUSE Tumbleweed - Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma
- Kernel version (

): 6.4.11-1-default
Description of Problem:
I have a Scarlett 18i6 audio interface, and when I have something connected to one of its inputs and making sound, no sound shows up in the application using Pipewire (however, the input itself does show). I've tested this in both Bitwig Studio and REAPER - if I set Bitwig to use ALSA directly, the sound works as expected and I can record what is connected to the input on the audio interface.
How Reproducible:
I'm not really sure how reproducible this issue is, primarily because I don't know if it affects other audio interfaces (and I don't have the ability to test other systems using pipewire with other audio interfaces).
Steps to Reproduce:
- Plug in Scarlett 18i6, connect some audio source to the first input jack on the device.
- Open an application that can record audio (like Bitwig) and set it to record from the Capture 0 input on the audio interface.
- Click record.
Actual Results:
While the app is able to record successfully from the device, there is no audio (as if the volume was turned all the way down).
Expected Results:
The audio should record as expected, in the same way the recorder behaves when connecting directly to ALSA.
