Hi,

it's not easy to help with that, since there not only is much talk
about idiotic features jack should provide, more confusing is that
already provided information is not easy to find again, because you
didn't stay with a clean thread, you opened one subject after the other.

Subject: [Jack-Devel] Jack Problems
Subject: [Jack-Devel] Uninstalled Pulseaudio Jack/jackd2 Jack Reinstalled  still wont start.
Subject: [Jack-Devel] Pulseaudio Replacement
Subject: [Jack-Devel] Remaining problems
Subject: Re: [Jack-Devel] JACK is a great deterministic audio server

That's no well-structured troubleshooting.

I don't know which issue in what way is really already solved.

Randomly patching something together, so that half of a problem is
solved, has nothing to do with troubleshooting. Maybe half of the issue
isn't solved, because what is working now, is just a cheap fix for half
of the issue, but the cause that the issue can't be solved completely.

Thank heaven, that you don't need to care about volume controls
provided by jack, too ;).

I recommend to do one step after the other.

1. Try to solve all input and output issues, excepted of bluetooth, IOW
without pulseaudio first. IOW even if you don't want to use Qjackctl,
get jack and qjackctl running first.

2. Once it's possible to get all IOs working with jack and qjackctl you
could drop qjackctl and get pulseaudio working together with jack.

It was already pointed out earlier that uninstalling and reinstalling
is no well-structured troubleshooting.

Regards,
Ralf
