Looks like this issue actually consists of 2 parts: 1) jackd takes total control over a device. This is desirable for performance reasons, but leaves non-jack-aware apps (like pulseaudio applications) out in the cold. The ideal solution would be to include module-jack-sink in pulseaudio and switch pulseaudio to that whenever jackd is running for a given sound card.
2) a workaround until (1) is implemented, is to use 2 sound cards, one for pro audio and one for other sounds. Problem with this workaround is that starting qjackctl suspends pulseaudio when it starts anyway. What we'd really need here is a way for qjackctl to say 'please clear hw:0, I want to claim it exclusively' when qjackctl (or jackd) is started: this would have to suspend pulseaudio *only* if it's bound to the specified device, and leave it running otherwise. -- Pulseaudio not working while jackd is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
