From your inxi output above, I see that you have two servers
installed/configured. It makes sense that only one of them is running,
in your case it's pipewire.

If you need jack then you could try to activate the jack emulation of
pipewire by installing the pipewire-jack package.
"This package contains a plugin for JACK applications to output via
PipeWire."

Can someone remind us again if the properties (Buffersize,
Samplingrate, etc.) of that jack-emulation can be set by the user?
