Firefox 84 doesn't connect to JACK output automatically anymore

Post by machine »

Hi

I did a kernel 5.10 update and updated to the latest firefox 84 and now I have to manually make a connection in carla everytime my audio changes in youtube or spotify. Is there a fix or is it a bug in firefox? I am on manjaro

See if you have this installed:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install pulseaudio-module-jack 
Boot up your computer, start JACK, and if Firefox stops, try this command

Code: Select all

pacmd set-default-sink jack_out
See if that solves it.

If it does, you're going to need a way to get that to run after Jack starts up. If you're using QJackCtl, this is what you need to do after pressing the Setup button Image

If you're using Cadence, There is an option in the bottom right, under Pulseaudio bridge or something like that, to set it to default blah blah blah, but it didn't always seem to work for me.
