So, when I play back a music in #Audacity via the #ALSA interface of #Pipewire, it is roughly 3dB* more quiet than when I play back the same piece from my #DAW / #Ardour via the #Jack interface. When I play back the file in good old Clementine player via Jack, it's also as it should be.

Things like this make me nervous. Okay I exported my music from Ardour or #Mixbus in the current case, just wanna check the file again, so Audacity… and then it all of sudden sounds differently.

*: I have a digital audio console with peak-hold meters at the other end, so it's not just by ear.

@nielso that is problematic.

I hope you reach out to Audacity to hear if this is a known issue.

Have you tried exporting it from Audacity and importing it again in Ardour/Mixbus to check if something happens in the app, or do you think it’s ALSA related?

@mosgaard

It's Pipewire-related, because it also happens when Clementine player uses something else than Jack.

So basically I can switch it on/off by selecting the audio backend in Clementine.

Might be due to my special configuration with Pipewire running original Jack in the back.
