Thanks for this PR, we're weak in this area right now. I left you a pile of comments, but they're mostly small things.
I have to be the no-fun police and ask that you redo your screenshots with a more standard cursor, It may be distracting otherwise. I appreciate the effort you put into demonstrating everything though.
More broadly, If there are ways that you think Sound on Solus could be improved through better packaging, please feel free to share your thoughts.
Edit: Don't worry about the git rebase -i thing

| Currently, using `pipewire-jack` as a `JACK` replacement is not as smooth as one would think. One must get their hands dirty a little to get JACK apps to behave appropriately 🛠 |

Add a sentence here explaining what the string of commands will do, like: "The following commands copy the default configurations to your user configuration directory, where you can modify them."

| With no configuration pipewire will not be able to switch to the appropriate sample-rate for the project. |

put pipewire in backticks, since you are referring to a package

| 1. Search for `node.rate` | ||
| 2. Uncomment `node.rate` | ||
| 3. Input the sample-rate you wish JACK applications to open with after the `1/` | ||

You should probably suggest a good default rate

| Lastly, we need to enable the `Pro Audio` sound configuration for our card. Not doing so will result in terrible Xruns (pops and crackles) even with all applied configuration. |

| **On Budgie**: `pavucontrol` is required to get access to the `Pro Audio` config. So install it |

Presumably, the Budgie changes also work for GNOME and XFCE. Please note that

Will do. I'll also add a section for anyone looking to setup native JACK since that's what I've been running for years for music production. |

I think troubleshooting is a more appropriate title

| You can adjust it by configuring the `limits.conf`. In this case we'll be using the `limits.d` for simplicity. | ||
