		+

		+	- Restarting speakersafetyd changes nothing

		+
		+	- Third attempt ; fresh boot, settings / audio / helvum all good ; last Ardour use was on Pulse ; ardour splashscreen doesn't kill nothing, goes to audio-midi setup step (with pulse preselected) without complaints. Volume keys work, Speakers work, settings on "MacBook Pro J414 Speakers" - opening a new 48khz pulse session now...

==To The Bug==

I am trying to reproduce a bug with Ardour that kills the nice sound hack from the asahi people

1. Fresh install of 39 from "welcome start setup"

Note: keyboard, possibly language, should be first step here.

2. Enable 3rd party (I need the Codecs)

3. Reboot for good measure, accepting the "critical update" request from Gnome Software

---------------------------Freshly booted, virgin, updated-------------------------------------

4. Check the wireplumber install with an eye on the arch wiki:
- No pipewire-audio to be found
- Pulseaudio is on pipewire-pulseaudio, installed by default
- Same for pipewire-alsa
- BUT not for jack, where jack-audio-connection-kit is the default

--> checking out VLC ; Settings now has 2 outputs, "internal" and "macbook" ; "internal" doesn't work.
- VLC set output module to Automatic, Alsa or Pipewire, sound works

--> Install helvum for visualisation of patch: everything fine, "macbook pro j414" are 2 inputs (and 6 outputs lol)

So far so good, good sound. But we haven't touched Jack yet - not that I need Jack ; what I need is Ardour with an internal patch

--> Adding Audacity, default settings ; plays nice with VLC into Helvum
