You will likely need either pulseaudio or pipewire for the audio hardware.

Jack worked before I installed then uninstalled pipewire

From what I understand about pipewire is that it has an API for Jack calls.

When you removed pipewire it may still be associated with Jack and it's trying to talk to software that isn't there.

Maybe try reinstalling Jack &/or removing the config files?
