    for me https://github.com/brummer10/pajackconnect has worked flawlessly... but I've switched to pipewire and I'm not looking back !

    Jack + Qjackctl to set things like buffer size has actually been pretty seamless to me using Bitwig. Everything kind of just works once I setup a Pulse Audio -> Jack Bridge via Qjackctl and this script. I can get latency way down low in Bitwig, and then when I'm running normal apps and games the bridge works perfectly. Pipewire is exciting though, it's just pretty new so I haven't seen as much documentation or tools.
