Here's ~/.jack/jack_startup: #!/bin/bash #Load PulseAudio pulseaudio -D And here's ~/.jack/jack_shutdown: #!/bin/bash #Kill PulseAudio pulseaudio --kill The result of this setup is that I have sound only when Jack is running, which is not exactly what I had in mind. What I want to achieve here is to have Pulseaudio off under ordinary circumstances, and only start when Jack is running.
