Most of the complexity comes about because Len setup a script to configure everything the way he wants every time he logs in. If you just want to try this, then start jackd using the audio interface you want, then execute: $ pactl load-module module-jack-sink $ pactl load-module module-jack-source You will now have additional ports that show up in jackd that you can route just like any other: $ jack_lsp system:capture_1 system:capture_2 system:playback_1 system:playback_2 PulseAudio JACK Sink:front-left PulseAudio JACK Sink:front-right PulseAudio JACK Source:front-left PulseAudio JACK Source:front-right The system:capture and system:playback ports are my physical audio interface, the PulseAudio JACK ports are the pseudo-audio-device connections from PulseAudio; I can connect the source to system:playback and hear audio from my browser, other applications, system sounds, etc., and when I want to work on audio editing and not have any other audio played through my interface I just disconnect those PulseAudio ports and the rest of the software on the system does not detect, e.g. Firefox still sends audio to PulseAudio with no complaints, but the audio is just not routed anywhere. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
