I hope it's the right term. I'm primarily looking for live pitch-shifting for funsies. Even a little delay in the output is alright for me.

I spent a while futsing around with wireplumber gui/pipewire to get Lyrebird to work to no effect. I tried routing my mic audio through Lyrebird and sometimes through sox, and then forwarded their audio to obs, but - no effects got applied. Sounded like my regular mic sound. I did make sure to activate pipewire to manage the audio instead of just pulseaudio.

Hoping for a recommendation before I spend another evening experimenting.

If all you want is pitch shifting, Easy Effects is probably your best bet. When I looked in to voice disguising a year or two back, all the other options were either bad at real-time or too complex to be worthwhile for casual use.

Just keep in mind that pitch shifting is trivial to reverse; it won't make you anonymous.
