That can be done from command line with jack_control script, which is unfortunately rather badly documented: run jack_control without arguments to get list of commands, or see the script example below. ``` remember to restart pulseaudio after, if you edit either one of the files.Īnd that would be it, except now the problem is renoise doesn't support the jackdbus interface, and starts the legacy jackd instead, which isn't recognized by pulseaudio's jackdbus-detect.īecause of this, jackdbus must be started before launching renoise. If the command above doesn’t show anything about module-jackdbus-detect, You need to add this in ~/.config/pulse/default.pa (for your user only), or in /etc/pulse/default.pa (system wide): # Automatically connect sink and source if JACK server is present Load-module module-jackdbus-detect channels=2 pulseaudio (and module-jackdbus-detect for it if not provided by pulseaudio package)įirst, let’s make sure jackdbus module is enabled for pulseaudio: $ grep jack /etc/pulse/default.pa
I can write instructions for those later, although last time I checked both methods have the drawback that jack server must be setup to run system wide all the time. This is also possible using legacy jackd+pulseaudio, or jack+alsa. All you have to do is connect ‘system’ output to renoise’s input in jack for example via qjackctl. This also makes it easy to record audio to renoise from any application. Now you can use renoise with jack output, and any PA application should work simultaneously via jack. When you start jackdbus, the module-jackdbus-detect detects it (surprise), and routes all pulseaudio audio to jack. This method uses jack server’s dbus interface introduced in jack2, and pulseaudio’s module-jackdbus-detect. It seems to be a common gripe among linux renoisers that you can’t play any audio from other applications while renoise is running, because it reserves the soundcard completely for itself.įortunately there’s a simple workaround for this, using jack server, and running both renoise’s and rest of the system’s sounds via it.
