jackaudio(a)lists.linuxaudio.org When I start qjackctl (1.9.16) on W10 and set portaudio interface to my USB soundcard, the Graph screen shows me my 2 input and output ports (plus MIDI) - but no other devices on my PC. How can I get the Graph or patchbay to show other devices such as my built in speaker, USB webcam/speakers or Voicemeeter, etc? Please help Richard Hughes

[Jackaudio] Distorted sound out of JACK-consumed programs

by Roberto Carraro

Hello, I'm new to audio production in Linux, so apologies in advance if I will use wrong terms and bad jargon. I'd like to record my guitars and bass, but I've found a problem which I think it can be JACK-related. I bought 2 USB audio interfaces, a 2-channel Behringer which I returned and a Focusrite Solo 3rd gen, which I'm testing right now. The issue that I have is with the programs that use JACK, like Guitarix and Reaper. It seems I can only get distorted sounds out of them and both have JACK as input source. Instead, Audacity, which lets me choose the hardware audio interface directly, lets me hear the sound of my instrument just fine. What I've tried so far: - my everyday Ubuntu 18.04 with low-latency patch: Guitarix and Reaper distorted audio and Audacity just fine - live AVlinux: Guitarix distorted audio and Audacity just fine - live Ubuntu Studio: Guitarix distorted audio and Audacity just fine Can someone please help? What else can I try? I'd like to stick with Ubuntu 18.04, as it is my main everyday desktop. Thank you. Roberto

[Jackaudio] DSP load

by skrzypoczt.gov13＠o2.pl

Hello I am using Jack on Windows machine. I am using the Jack to process audio in real time with few very CPU hungry VST plugins. I have a computer with 4 cores CPU but it is old machine. The playing software did not utilise the cores as it suposse to be. I have got an idea to use VST hosts, connect them and with Process Lasso to force the right core utilisation. And I have succeded the goal. All cores are utilised almost at the same level. My card is an USB interface with max buffer 4092 and ASIO driver. I have configured the Jack with maximum possible frames/buffers. With full set of VST plugins I am getting DSP load 100% what is total disater and in the same time CPU core utilisation in around 30%. Is there any way to solve that problem. Or it is just a kind of bottelneck connected with my USB interface or Jack? Regards

[Jackaudio] Latency compensation with multiple Jack-Instances connected by zita-njbridge

by Robin Rosenberger

Hello jack community, I am trying to run two separate Jack instances, one for low latency monitoring using Carla as a plugin host and one for recording using Ardour with a higher buffersize for performance. The two jack servers are connected by zita-njbridge. Its working quite well so far, the issue is that I cannot compensate for the latency of the zita-bridges, 2*10ms. To my knowledge, jack provides latency information to Ardour, so i need to inform jack about the latency happening. I tried the following setups: Main Jack, alsa backend using USB Interface (Presonus Audiobox USB96) Ardour Jack, dummy backend and Main Jack, alsa backend using USB Interface Ardour Jack, alsa backend using onboard audio (Intel 8 Series/C220 if it matters) Signal way in both cases for recording is: System in Main Jack - Zita to Ardour-Jack - Ardour - Zita to Main Jack - System out Main Jack So I never use the onboard physical connections. The first setup is problematic because the dummy backend doesn't have extra latency options, the latter seems to be ignoring the -I -O numbers in the Ardour-Jack, at least jack_iodelay tells me the same frame count no matter what I enter, which is not the case in the Main-Jack, where I can get it to 0 with the correct settings. So I get late recordings by 20ms from zita + the latency of the Main-Jack, that the Ardour-Jack doesn't know about. Is there any way to make this work? And why is the Ardour-Jack ignoring my extra latency settings? Even though I don't think it matters too much, I'm on Arch Linux, and using jack2 1.9.16-1 and Ardour 6.3-3. Looking forward to your replies, stay safe and healthy! Best regards, Robin

[Jackaudio] vht - a live midi tracker

by Remigiusz Dybka

Hello, all I'd like to introduce you to a new midi tracker that I wrote. It's very minimalistic, a glorified repeater really. The main idea of the program was to have something to put between Carla and an external MIDI controller. selling points: - it only knows Jack - fast workflow - designed for live performance - irregular looping of tracks (have to see to believe) - funk mode (nice for triplets) - midi triggers - freewheel rendering Of course it is released under GPL3, otherwise I wouldn't be bothering you kind people. It compiles and runs on latest Ubuntu and Fedora (developed under Mint). Gnome app written in Python. The sequencing engine is in good ol' C (with jack being the only dependency). You can find the project at: https://github.com/rdybka/vht You can also check out: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vht for a current tarball and a deb for Ubuntu Hope someone besides me will find it useful Regards, Rem

[Jackaudio] Auto naming of ports from ASIO device ? (plus Windows build thanks)

by Michael Z Freeman

Hi, Jack people ! I am using the new Windows build of Jack Audio. I am connecting a Roland DJ-505 controller that has lots of inputs and outputs. I may be missing this somewhere but is there a way to make Jack (and the new session manager) use the names of the ports that are provided by the DJ-505 ASIO driver ? If not then I'd like to request that this feature is added to Jack Audio as it must be relatively trivial to copy the names from the ASIO driver. As to the Windows build. Great ! Many thanks to the developers :) ... I'd almost given up on a new Windows build turning up. I use a lot of Windows software such as FL Studio and Traktor. Michael

[Jackaudio] Is it possible to connect two usb input devices to jack (linux)? (neophyte question)

by Barnet Wagman

I have two usb audio input devices that I'd like to mix and connect to Jamulus, an application that uses jack (not pulseaudio). I'm trying to find out if this is possible. I'm running jack2 on a debian 10 system. There's one audio card (chip, actually) that's listed as HDA Intel. FYI The usb input devices are a Shure MV5 microphone and a Scarlett Solo audio interface. I can connect either of these devices to jack by specify one from qjackctl setup: Settings -> Advanced -> Input device. I don't see how to capture and mix the input from both devices. I haven't found any documentation that explains how to do this or if it's possible. Thanks

[Jackaudio] JACK/ALC1220 issues

by Mike Uchima

Hey, new subscriber here. I've been using JACK for several years but know just enough about it to get it to work (usually). I've hit a couple of issues with a new system build that have me stumped. Specifics of the system: Ryzen 3700X; Asus Prime X470 Pro motherboard; using (or at least attempting to use) the on-board audio, which is an ALC1220. OS is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS; JACK is configured to run with realtime priority. Issue #1: Can't get any output from the digital (S/PDIF) port. I've made sure S/PDIF is unmuted in alsamixer, and the S/PDIF output works fine with PulseAudio. I've tried outputting to all of the system ports that show in the JACK connection manager, and none of them produce any output on the S/PDIF port. Issue #2: If I run with the default number of output channels (6), JACK stutters horribly with constant XRUNs. Already tried changing the --period option; if I increase it JACK fails to start, and if I decrease it the stuttering gets worse. Also tried changing --nperiods; increasing it prevents JACK from starting. If I disable the last 2 channels (i.e. run in 4 channel mode) the stuttering goes away. I can live with #2 (don't really need the last 2 channels), but if I can't get #1 resolved I'll be looking at a 3rd party soundcard (internal or external) for this system. Any thoughts/insights would be welcome. Thanks!

[Jackaudio] Can't start with laptop speakers on Thinkpad Carbon X1 7th Gen and Ubuntu 20.04

by Dan Zink

Hello all, Sometimes I want to use jackd with the laptop speakers or headphones, instead of my audio interface. I can't get it to start on my new laptop (using the audio interface works perfectly, thanks community :) ).
