What do you mean by 'playing on the sender' ?
I assume you are using
something that outputs via Jack. Then you have to connect it to j2n.
And on the receiving end you need to connect n2j, e.g.
to the
soundcard.
I know, this seems so clear to you, but to me it wasn`t so clear. And I couldn`t find this
documented somewhere. But thanks to your comment, I think I`ve done it right.
So for the record, here`s what I did:
– start Jack on both machines using qjackctl
– run 'zita-j2n ip-of-the-reciever 7000' in a terminal on the sender
– run 'zita-n2j ip-of-the-reciever 7000' in a terminal on the reciever
– bring up qjackctl`s connections window on both machines
I want to send Ardour`s output over the network so:
– on the sender, left side of the connections window, flip ardour open and on the right
side, flip zita-j2n open; drag and drop ardour`s Master/audio_out 1 onto zita-j2n`s in_1;
do the same for Master/audio_out 2 and in_2; now, a line is connecting these two channels
– on the reciever, left side of the connection window flip zita-n2j open and on the right
side, flip system open; connect zita-n2j`s out_1 to system`s playback_1; do the same for
out_2 and playback_2
So far, so good. It worked. I get sound through the reciever`s headphones, but it`s very
very bad quality, something like an ultra low bitrate. What I suspect is happening is, a
lot of packets get lost and are replaced with silence (zita-nj does this, right?). I
originally tried it with using wifi connection although I know it`s not supported. Because
of that, I tried it using an ethernet cable. I can`t hear any difference. How can I debug
this and possibly make the connection better?
Do you mean you can't run qjackctl ?
I`m
sorry, that was a misunderstanding. I can run qjackctl.
I appreciate all your help and I`m sorry if my writing is confusing to you.
