Update on the current journey: I've figured out how to bypass Pulse Audio using qjackctl routing. However, the final output is still going to a default setting labeled "system". I'm meeting a bit of a limit with this GUI, but have found a few forums dedicated to the CLI that may provide the controls I'm seeking to select the desired output. Hoping to use the audio interface as an input with the dedicated headphone jack on the laptop as the output. If I find success, I'll post the commands and the forums I used for guidance here.
Other than that: the latest update of Ubuntu Studio is proving quite a pleasant experience. All hotkeys were correctly bound upon install, no odd heating or driver issues, etc. So far it's been a smooth plug and play experience. We'll see if something goes wrong this evening now that I've said that haha. -bASH On Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 1:13:17 PM UTC-5, Adam Hudson wrote: > > Is anyone here familiar with the process of getting sound from live > instruments into Linux?
