PipeWire-Jack inputs seem to not work in flatpaks

Hi, have been trying to get this to work for a bit.

Whenever I try to select an input of my audio interface in Bitwig with Jack or PipeWire selected as the driver or FL Studio running through Bottles with WineASIO, I get no audio from it. If I run Bitwig with ALSA or use FL ASIO in FLS (which gets interpreted as pulse), my mic works just fine though.

I thought it might be a weird routing thing, but it seems correct to me

What qpwgraph shows with Bitwig and PW-Jack as the driver open: click
What qpwgraph shows with FL and WineASIO open: click

And if I route 'capture_FL' (the xlr input) to the outputs I can hear the mic, so that leads me to believe that it's a "flatpak not allowing you to use software as intended bc le safety" thing. I'm really not sure what to do about it though? I googled it and didn't find anything.

That being said, I've not configured pipewire or pipewire-jack at all so it may also be that possibly. But I imagine the default settings should probably work well enough to at least let apps use Jack inputs?
