Might it be an alternative to stay on Kontact version 5? Sometimes upgrades/updates don't offer extra features that one actually uses (MS Office '97 is still enough for me, unless people send me docx files). Have you tried bridging the VST via Carla? That's no problem for 99% of the software out there because there's always a Linux alternative.
However, running software from one operating system on another is never easy or completely supported by anyone. If that fails you can troubleshoot further of wait for utilities like YABridge and Wine Staging to get updated and pray it'll solve your prob. Wine Staging is a testing version of Wine or something. The way I finally got a certain Windows VST working (a VST of the famoust VCS3/Synthi AKS synthesizer) - on the advice of YABridge's developer (Robert v/d Helm on this forum) - is by updating Wine to the latest Wine-Staging version. I'd cut that from the equation immediately, if at all possible. Version 5 seems to work just fine for you.Īs far as I know ASIO is a Windows driver. Reading your post I think we can conclude that the "problem" lies in Kontact 6 (what ever the hell that may be, probably Windows software or a Windows VST). You're on the right track because it could be all of 'm. I'm not sure where to start debugging this, whether it's a PipeWire issue, Pulseaudio, Wine, or something else, and any help would be appreciated. Kontakt 5 meanwhile has no problem running over Pulseaudio, but has similar issues with WineAsio. By messing with QjackCtl, stopping or starting the driver, changing from dummy to ALSA and back, about 1/10 times it is possible to get Kontakt running flawlessly, but I haven't figured out a reliable way to reproduce. Sometimes it will open, a library will load, but playing sound will crash. Often it will crash Kontakt immediately on launch. Kontakt 6 with WineAsio is very unpredictable. This means library user interfaces will load, but all the controls have no effect, and there is no audio output. Running Kontakt 6 with pulseaudio selected works, and Kontakt will launch, but the audio driver never actually starts running in Kontakt.
Kontakt 6 as standalone however is very unstable and finicky. Kontakt 6 runs great as a plugin, again in both FL Studio and Reaper.
Kontakt 5 runs great as standalone or as a plugin, in both FL Studio and Reaper via yabridge.
