You have finally f**ked up Buster to the
point that the repository SPi will not boot !
Even while it remains on the ’ prefered software ’

The bundled 3.1 will work if you launch QJackCtl to select the sound output you want. Not ideal, but then it is an old version and was not intended for this version of the OS. 3.3.1 is adjusted to use the new sound setup, and works fine (I’m currently using 5 RPi of various types running concurrently synced together, all running 3.3.1). It is only available prebuilt as a binary deb (from sonic-pi.net) and is not available in the Raspbian distro. This is because there is not at present a source format debfile for the latest version.
You can of course also build it yourself from source which is fairly easy with the new streamlined build process incorporated in the source code.

The present 3.1 version is incomplete (no support for midi or osc) and was produced independently of the SP development team. We don’t have the resources to fix it, but we do have a better working later version which is easy to install (3.3.1) You should upgrade your OS to the latest version (11th January 2021) for which it is designed to use it.

No … I should simply ( one more time ) go back to Stretch .
