to getting ALSA to work at the same time as JACK. The idea is to activate the snd-aloop kernel module to create a virtual soundcard, where any sound input to the card (application playing audio) is available as an output (virtual mic input). Then I use JACK to route that virtual microphone to my system playback.
What I've done so far
1.
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe snd-aloop
Code: Select all
aplay -l
3. Restart
4.
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe snd-aloop
4. Switch output device in the Linux mint audio GUI from the loopback device to the default line out device. Verify audio is working with
Code: Select all
aplay -D default test.wav
6. Manually enter the commands in "Create scripts to automate bridge initialization via QjackCtl" BUT substitute playback_3 and playback_4 for 1 and 2 (necessary on my computer)
I can see the loopback devices in JACK and the connections are as expected from the commands, yet I get no audio from ALSA programs. For example,
Code: Select all
aplay -D default test.wav
Could it be that I need to change something else due to my changing the playback devices in step 6? What else can I do to troubleshoot why cloop seems to not be outputting anything? Thanks!
