I kinda want to see what the fuss is about now. I don't do a lot of typical consumer stuff so I haven't run into that at all.

Are you trying to use JACK on the same sound card as PulseAudio? They won't share a sound card and you'll either need to disable PulseAudio or configure JACK to use a different sound card to get it to work.

Keep an eye out for PipeWire. It's basically a replacement for PulseAudio and Jack. It's still beta-ish but it can/will work with everything that works with Jack (but easier) and Pulseaudio (but better). Plus it will handle video (webcams, cameras, and screen sharing), and eventually planned be able to run effects and stuff on the video. It already can handle all of Jack's VST and plugins stuff for audio, I've used it. It pleasantly surprised me at how good it is for basically beta software. But it's totally daily usable for me, with a few glitches and crashes that I can tolerate.
I got a destroyed a1502 MacBook Pro from a recycling center. The screen is broken and it looks like someone snapped the screen back because the hinges are destroyed. I used a charger and a external monitor and it works, it’s just still registered to someone’s Apple ID. Dose anyone know if I can sell it as a whole for parts for would it be a better option to take out the motherboard and just sell that? I thought if I take out the ssd the board it would no longer be attached to the account. Those motherboards are going for over $150 and I would love to get that money. Can anyone give me some advice?
Interesting, I'd love to switch to linux but I feel converting my Voicemeeter setup to jack + whatever else I need to get it working would be a pain.

I’ve always had trouble getting audio to work on Linux. Used it for only 25 years or so. On and off. Just now only on my dedicated machine running little but Folding@Home.
One option is to have a dual or more boot system. In my case I have windows on it's own nvme drive and linux mint on it's own nvme drive and arch linux on yet another drive (ssd). I boot first to the arch linux grub (boot loader) menu from which I can choose one of three OS's. Windows for programs and games suited to it, arch linux to learn more of linux and linux mint as a home base free from proprietary complicated and unseen manipulations by the OS. I installed windows first, when only one drive was physically attached to the computer, then I added the others for installing linux's.
It is interesting to me that you seldom present any issues that are not in some way related to power rail problems, either on the main board or one of the peripherals. I assume this is because that is the only thing that ever goes wrong?

Been using Linux for years now as a daily driver. Windows 10 has so many downsides mainly from a privacy point of view. It even bypasses your VPN and firewall to phone home. 🤷 Or then there are updates and breaks something that wasn't broken. 😁
Question, since I'm somewhat early: You mention frequently, and rightly so seeing what you do all day, the BS Apple pulls with its chip suppliers and how you can't buy them. Just how difficult would it be to be able to reverse engineer your own chip to take their place? If you did find some way to do so, do you think Apple would have any legal avenues to tell you to fuck off? Keep up the important work of saying what's up when things aren't as they should be.
I may be able to answer this. To actually manufacture your own chip would be extremely difficult (if not impossible), due to the proprietary nature of computer chips (especially in Apple's case). Manufacturing the chips would be insanely expensive and more than likely not worth the effort. The closest we would be able to do today is using something like an FPGA (field programmable gate array), which is basically a programmable integrated circuit, which may be able to be programmed to emulate the chip. While cheaper, these are also quite expensive considering what we would actually have them doing. But let's assume that we've gone through all of that and actually have a working replacement. Unless they can prove you used their source code and/or schematics to build the replacement, you're theoretically in the clear. In legality I'm a bit less sure so maybe someone else could help out here. TLDR: Technically yes, but in practice probably not worth it, and potentially a legally grey area.
I have been wondering if you could use the ISL chip used previously and adding some small MCU in series with the I2C or whatever bus is used for control and do translation there. Could even be a modchip style polyimide flexible pcb that just fits in the space that's there.
@Lord_haven111 Lol, nobody would dissapear and a pin and feature compatible clone would be a gray area think. As those do exist for many chips. And my proposal was more of a "capability layer" that makes the mostly compatible chip look like the apple exclusive one to the system.

Linux is love. Linux is life. I love linux. The only downside to Linux is that there is no Linux version of Cisco Jabber, which my work uses. And it does not work in wine.
What is so hard about using JACK audio? If you use a gui controller like qjackctl or carla, it is fairly easy. Also, you can use Airwave to make windows VSTs work in linux. Or you can just use LV2 plugins instead. Airwave is here: github.com/psycha0s/airwave/releases
Well, you still haven't bothered to increase mouse cursor size and turn it black, as requested several times now, so that we the viewers can have a chance at following your 90mph dialogue while jerking the cursor all around the schematic. :( But hey, have yourself a very disgruntled evening.
