I'm using pcmanfm now since trying it in vuudo, it's great. I'm actually now using a lot of the stuff you use in vuudo that I had never tried before and it works a lot better then my old setup. I combined two "hobby" projects devuan and vuudo.

It's all flying along on my main box running 16gb ram, intel i7-12400F and nvidia rtx 4060

Installed excalibur sysvinit with no desktop environment, xlibre, openbox, pcmanfm, lxpolkit, lxterminal, lightdm, tint2, obmenu-generator, obsession, nitrogen, nvidia cuda driver, brave, pluma and my chat bot program jack-bridge.

I've got the best working setup I've ever had thanks to the info in this forum

Intresting. How many websites use javascript? I hope he doesn't use any of them

Yeah I tried MT, that's great that they have released a native linux version as before the linux package installed wine. I would recommend MT powerdrums for anyone needing a virtual kit. I also tried hydrogen and others that are only on windows and mac.

I bought superior drummer years ago and it's just a personal preference for me. My version is outdated these days but I have no need to upgrade.

That's great they made a native version it is a lot more user friendly then hydogen if you are just using an electric drum kit to play.

Have you considered combining AslaTune, Vuudo media and video player into one app?

Also I have tested this on a good amount of programs and sound seems to work well. Browsers, DAWs, media players, wine for games and vsts, native linux games, except steam. Steams proton version or runtime just gives nothing, not a sound. I've tried multiple solutions and can't get any to work.

I'm not a fan of steam as you don't own anything you buy but it has been a great challenge trying to get alsa or jack to work with it and apart from rebuilding steams runtime to support it there must be a way. If any of the alsa only guys out there play games on steam it would great if you could share how you do it?

I have this exact same audio interface. If your only using alsa try greenjeans AlsaTune gui. It picked up mine straight away and it is very loud with my behringer truth monitors. I'm using devuan 5 not 6

Update on this. I installed mate as another desktop environment and I don't get the audio problems with the gui open anymore. Before that I tried some of the suggestions like a 32bit wineprefix, buffer size and could not solve it in xfce. After I installed mate it just worked. The vst that was having the problems is called superior drummer 2

Sorry greenjeans it worked it was my stupidity. I was waiting for it to scan expecting the songs to appear and kept pressing re-scan. i didn't realise I just had to click Music below Artists/Albums. I didn't figure this out until I installed the new version. Also it found both .wav and .mp3

1) Code that would reconnect an app to the same output it used before. Now whenever VLC changes track it switches back to the default output.

I had trouble with this. jack-bridge uses jack-connection-manager.c in the src files, jack-auto-connect in contrib/usr/lib/jack-bridge and jack-route-select contrib/usr/local/lib/jack-bridge/jack-route-select. They all work together with greenjeans mxeq.c. There could be something in there that helps. Also as greenjeans suggested check out his code he actually knows what he is doing.

For bluetooth I am not sure. I got the chat bots to rebuild bluealsa without systemd. I left all that info in the repo as well.

@greengeans

I'm not sure about a mixer in xfce I only used yours when you showed me your gui. I have removed the eq part from jack-bridge now as when I try to add more features like surround sound, computer keeps saying no because everything goes through equal first.

As for heroes you're the hero mate, and modest to. I've been using vuudo mini and it's off the charts, you really know your stuff. I installed it on a laptop I bought for work 15 years ago which came with windows 7 and it was a piece of shit. I could never record anything in reaper without crackles and pops and vuudo handles recording my vsts running in wine easy. This thing has 4gb of ram and a cpu that by todays standards belongs in the bin. Seriously it does everything I need and your openbox config shits all over xfce, which I'm a huge fan of xfce. The only bug I've got is no sound when i switch to hdmi in alsatune, the screens a bit knocked around so i connect it to my tele with hdmi and use my audio interface for the sound which alsatune switches to and works.

What i installed in vuudo mini to have everything I need as an end user. Brave, reaper, yabridge, wine-staging, winetricks, libre office writer and openvpn. And the best bit, It's devuan 5. I know devuan team does a lot of work to keep up to date but bookworm is where it's at for me. Vuudo should be an offical devuan release it's awesome.

If you're trying to make it user friendly, there might be something in the jack-bridge code that could help. https://github.com/rations/jack-bridge but beware it's all generated by chat bots but it might help give you some ideas. Looks like you're on a winner.

Try installing winetricks sudo apt install winetricks type winetricks in the terminal to open the GUI. Select use default wine prefix then select uninstaller. You can install with the remove/install button. I only install vsts but they're all in the default prefix.

Maybe winetricks could help
