VCV Rack Audio Glitches on Linux Mint

So i have been only using VCV rack for a week, and have been having so much fun with it, it’s incredible, however I decided i wanted to move over to linux since it is compatable. I was running it on my 2012 macbook just fine and now that I am on the up to date linux mint, it fails miserably, despite my efforts.

I have been trying to use Jack with varying buffer and sample rates to no avail, shit devolves into a glitched out mess and the entire thing gets choppy.

I am also using a scarlett 2i2.

I have tried using this guide: Linux Audio Survival kit. | Linux Audio Survival Kit

The advice from this thread: Audio Output under LINUX glitches

VCV rack has been so fucking life changing for me the past two weeks, and to not have it as a creative resource is so fucking sad, I have been trying to trouble shoot this for the past 5 hours and im just stumped, if I can’t figure this shit out I will probably just trash all of my saved shit to avoid the whole file transfer nightmare I did in order to put linux on this computer and just try and run catalina again.

Anyways if u know of anything let me know /._.\

I put Linux Mint on an old Surface 3, installed Ubuntu Studio with the Audio profile, and it works fine for me (also a Scarlett 2i2).

Have you already tried using PulseAudio as audio driver? On my current HP laptop (running Linux Mint), I never managed to get VCV running correctly when using Jack (glitching & choppy audio, like you described). This is with the internal audio interface of the laptop. With a (rather cheap) external USB audio interface, I did manage to get clean audio through Jack in VCV. However, using PulseAudio instead of Jack as driver works fine on both the internal & external audio interface, so I’m just using that now.

Yes I have, to no avail. On linux mint it’s considerably fucked up no matter if I use pulseaudio or jack, whereas on catalina I had no issues at all. I tried to install Manjaro, since others said that VCV worked great for them on there, and have found some improvement while using an interface, but I don’t always want to be lugging an interface around and prefer to be able to use VCV without it on certain occassions, and even with the interface it is performing a lower standard than before I put linux on here… At this point I’m considering reinstalling my mac os on here in a partition but I don’t know how feasible that even is, or if I’m going to risk bricking my computer entirely.

Yeahhh I am considering trying to instal Ubuntu Studio in a partition in place of Manjaro which is also fucking me over. We will see I guess ._.
