As already pointed out earlier, when you randomly replied off-list, in my experiences it's easier to use just jackd without anything else [1]. From another off-list reply: Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:44:14 -0400 From: Mac <ussndmac@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: jack, pulse = confusion, at least for me [snip] If I understand correctly, if you want system sound to go to jack, you need a some bridge, a2j, pulse, etc. not matter what jack you use. [snip] Yesno, see [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ apropos a2j a2j (1) - Wrapper script to simulate a2jmidid's non-DBUS behaviour though a2jmidid actually being... a2j_control (1) - utility to control a2jmidid daemon a2jmidi_bridge (1) - static bridge with one ALSA playback port and one JACK MIDI input port a2jmidid (1) - JACK MIDI daemon for ALSA MIDI zita-a2j (1) - Use ALSA device as a Jack client, with resampling. Also consider to take a look at the JACK FAQ: "How can I play audio from …. via JACK?" - http://www.jackaudio.org/faq/ Regards, Ralf [1] Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 16:02:50 +0100 From: Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Mac <ussndmac@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: jack, pulse = confusion, at least for me On Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:56:21 -0400, Mac wrote: >It's all good...just complicated. :) Hi, was it intended to sent the reply off-list? IMO it's less complicated without jackdbus and pulseaudio. YMMV! Good luck!
