Hi,
for my Debian there's no PA installed, but anyway, when I run jackd and
try to get sound for a Youtube video, there's no sound. I need to stop
jackd and then I can hear the sound of the video.
Some time ago somebody wrote that it should be easy to get rid of PA,
while I claimed, that it's hard to do.
Yes, getting rid of PA, while it's still impossible to use non-jack
applications is easy. Yes, for the browser there might be flash with
jackd support, but I would like to have a good old Linux, where I don't
need to take care about this Pulseaudio configurations.
Is it possible to get rid of any PA issues?
Regards,
Ralf
As Oon-Ee Ng mentions, it's a jack issue.
The most basic method which works for me, is creating ~/.asoundrc with
the following contents:
---8<----
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}
pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
}
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
---8<----
others might have other methods which might be better or not.
