Foreshadowing for when Linux Mint 22 gets released (with Pipewire support)... I use Pulse Effeect (for the compressor) at the moment... lol... :-)

Oh well... I'll take that headache then I guess... :-)

pipewire package by default does not have pulseaudio compatibility as i remember. So i suppose you need to install this package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/pipewire-pulse.

Although i personally would not recommend using software for pulseaudio like pavucontrol with pipewire.

I'm using pipewire here, on Debian sid (with that pipewire-pulse package), and also using the pavucontrol to configure/tune the devices, and it is working ok (not using jack on this setup, tho)

backup your pulseaudio config in /etc and any in ~/
make a list of all currently installed packages
PURGE pulseaudio,
reinstall pipewire and it's pulseaudio dependancies
i can elaborabte on each of these steps i took from a Debian perspective if you request
