I had AI parse this. This is what it came up with:

Why This Happens Only on openSUSE

• openSUSE ships PipeWire 1.2+ with aggressive low-latency defaults (min-quantum 32)
• Their Qt6 is built with -O3 + LTO + GCC 15 → moves code around in a way that triggers the null deref in JamesDSP’s convolution init when min-quantum < 512
• Fedora uses slightly different Qt flags and defaults to min-quantum 256 → survives
• Ubuntu/Debian backport the fix or use older Qt → never see it

Copy and enter this code block verbatim, one go. Copy, paste, enter. EDIT: PLEASE READ THE CODE COMMENTS

sudo mkdir -p /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d /etc/rtkit
sudo tee /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/99-jamesdsp-stable.conf > /dev/null <<EOF
context.properties = {
    default.clock.rate       = 48000
    default.clock.quantum    = 1024
    default.clock.min-quantum = 512
    default.clock.max-quantum = 2048
}
EOF

sudo tee /etc/rtkit/rtkit.conf > /dev/null <<EOF
RTKIT_NICE=-15
RTKIT_RTPRIO=90
RTKIT_RTTIME=2000000
EOF

sudo systemctl restart rtkit-daemon
systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber

# Remove your old quantum configs — they were actually too high on openSUSE
sudo rm /etc/pipewire/client.conf.d/99-jamesdsp.conf /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/99-custom.conf 2>/dev/null || true

# Launch the fixed way
jamesdsp --low-latency-mode

Fix for openSUSE Tumbleweed (and Leap if anyone ever hits it) when JamesDSP instantly SIGSEGVs with that exact crash dump on startup.

• The problem is NOT your PipeWire quantum settings — those are fine.
• The crash is a classic Qt6 + PipeWire 1.2+ realtime scheduling race that only hits openSUSE’s build of JamesDSP (their Qt6 + GCC 15 combo triggers a null-pointer deref in libQt6Core.so.6 the moment the DSP thread tries to allocate convolution buffers at high quantum).

I personally spun a VM of OpenSUSE and this works.

[JMarcosHP]

Hi, I'm using the flatpak version with openSUSE tumbleweed, it opens but nothing works.

It switches automatically to the "JamesDSP sink" then I lose all my sound, I need to switch back to my default sound output and now no one of the DSP effects work, all my audio is still flat.

Hope someone can help me to debug. I'm using KDE and pipewire.

[Fringale]

I started getting no sound from JamesDSP right when openSUSE Tumbleweed began shipping versions 1.5.8x of Pipewire (which are release candidates for 1.6) in its 20251018 snapshot (list of updated packages).

Previous stable 1.4.x versions were working just fine, so it seems something specifically in Pipewire 1.6 RCs or in its openSUSE packaging triggered the incompatibility with JamesDSP on my system. And I have no specific issue with this version of Pipewire other than with JamesDSP.

---

System information:

Distribution: Aeon Desktop (openSUSE Tumbleweed variant)
DE: Gnome 49.2
Pipewire version: 1.5.83 (1.6 RC3)
JamesDSP version: 2.7.0 (Flatpak)

---

JamesDSP logs when launched from the command line, playing and pausing music, then closing JamesDSP: no crash, so maybe this is a different issue altogether? Even if related to openSUSE Tumbleweed + Pipewire 1.6 RC

[LinusBehringer]

Hi, I'm using the flatpak version with openSUSE tumbleweed, it opens but nothing works.

It switches automatically to the "JamesDSP sink" then I lose all my sound, I need to switch back to my default sound output and now no one of the DSP effects work, all my audio is still flat.

Hope someone can help me to debug. I'm using KDE and pipewire.

I am not on openSuse, but I experienced the same thing on Linux Arch with KDE.
Do you have JamesDSP on Autostart? You probably need to add a delay to it starting, because it starts earlier than your device connecting.

Not sure if it helps in your case but my autostart-command now looks like this:
bash -c 'sleep 180 && jamesdpsgui' --tray

In JamesDSP I enabled Standard-Outputdevice and disabled Benchmarks, maybe they are related.

[Fringale]

Great news, patched Pipewire 1.5.84 in openSUSE Tumbleweed fixed the Bad file descriptor errors I had with JamesDSP flatpak! It was part of the just-released 20251204 snapshot.

Does it work now on your side too @kalishxern @JMarcosHP?

Shoutout to the Pipewire guys for finding and fixing the compatibility problem, and to the Easy Effects folks for investigating, raising the issue to Pipewire, and submitting a backport patch to Tumbleweed.

[JMarcosHP]

Oh i didnt upgrade my TW system yet, let me see and test if it works now.

[JMarcosHP]

I upgraded my pipewire version and now it works without issues with the flatpak version.

Many thanks for sharing the links
