✍️ Bug Description

When having EasyEffects active, Soundux no longer works, playback can be heard on my speakers, but not in recording application (Discord, etc)

🔁 Steps to reproduce

Install and enable EasyEffects (https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects),
open any recording application (in my case Discord and Audacity),
try to use soundux

This should work especially with pipewire, if it doesn't I'm not sure if we can do anything here but I'll check it out if I have time

I confirm that this problem is present. Also, my attempt to use Soundux causes EasyEffects crash.

If it crashes easyeffects this should rather be reported to them than to us

I have a similar issue. While having EasyEffects open I face a bit of a different issue.

Soundux local playback works all the time, like author says, however remote works some of the times. If I play with long intervals and don't overlap it too much, it plays fine remotely. However, if I play them too often, or make them overlap each other, they stop working remotely, and I have to wait like 5 sec before they start sounding in the remote app again.

Closing EasyEffects makes it work as intended.

Not sure why that would be and I'm not sure how we could provide better compatibility with easyeffects, currently both conflict a little with each other sometimes and I have no idea how we could prevent this

Seems like it's just failing to create the pipeline to remote app sometimes for me. How it looks in Helvum (click to enlarge):

Maybe it's connected to this EE issue since we both have mono devices?

I have a similar issue, I fixed local playback being always on by blacklisting soundux in easyeffects, however it seems to be random if the sound plays remotely or not

With a little help from the EasyEffects developer we've solved this in venmic 🎉

As Venmic shares 90% of patchbay code with the new Soundux this means that the issue will also be resolved with v3
