How do I get Rhythmbox (GNOME application similar to iTunes) to appear
in qjackctl?
Rythumbox must have the ability to open as a jack client built in.
Therefore, the place to check would be in the
setting/preferences/options/whatever dialog and see if it is possible to
set audio out to jack
- installed qjackctl and its dependencies on Ubuntu 16.04
16.04 is kinda old, the version of jack in ubuntu20.04 has had some
important bug fixes.
- installed pulseaudio-module-jack
This package comes with three modules:
- module-jackdbus-detect
- module-jack-source
- module-jack-sink
Thanks for the note. I wanted to give a quick update on my situation.
I'm not familiar enough with JACK yet to determine whether or not your
advice still applies. If is still does, I'm not sure I follow
everything so may have some follow up questions.
Again, I'm trying to combine the music playing from Rhythmbox with my
voice from the microphone and send that out to a meeting service like
Jitsi (or Zoom).
With Rhythmbox running and playing music, I open up qjackctl and the
"Connections" window looks like this:

In PulseAudio Volume Control, the "Playback" tab looks like:

The "Output Devices" tab looks like:

The "Input Devices" tab looks like (2 screenshots):

With this setup AND with JACK running, I can hear the music through my
speakers! (Minor victory, but I'll take it!)
There are in ubuntu 16.04, both jackmixer and idjc which will both be
able to act as a mixer with this setup allowing setting each level
separately and offer more control. neither one of these applications are
available in ubuntu 20.04 due to libs they rely on being deprecated. I
am hopeful they
will be re-added in the future (but am not holding my breath). zita-mu1
may also work for you as a mixer. A plugin wrapper like Carla could be
used to provide level and eq control as well (or jack client versions of
plugins for that matter)
I just need help on:
How to I combine my voice from the microphone and then have that serve
as the "input" to Jitsi or Zoom.
Is that where these mixers come in or can I do through directly through
qjackctl and PusleAudio Volume Control?
