If jackd is running, all apps, including those that are jack aware like audacity just don't do any sound stuff, even the example jack utils don't output sound. Is my understanding that jack should not stop non-jack aware apps from using the sound system? I found an old Fedora post that recommended the following ~/jack.pa script, I enabled those modules in default.pa and restarted pulseaudio, no change. #!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF # load-module module-jack-sink load-module module-jack-source load-module module-native-protocol-unix load-module module-volume-restore load-module module-default-device-restore load-module module-rescue-streams load-module module-suspend-on-idle .ifexists module-gconf.so .nofail load-module module-gconf .fail .endif .ifexists module-x11-publish.so .nofail load-module module-x11-publish .fail .endif Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
