Re: no sound from youtube or cd after using jack
There are many ways how to solve the "race for the soundcard". I chose the following one:
1.) Use the jack output driver if your clients have one, eg. Clementine audio player
2.) Configure Pulseaudio to use the jack output sink
3.) Redirect ALSA-Clients to jack
I describe Actions 2 and 3 in http://www.marzen.de/Holger/pulseaudio_and_jack/

Re: no sound from youtube or cd after using jack
Without using pulseaudio, to have a non jack app send audio to jack choose the Loopback card included in kxstudio to be used.
You start cadence, start jack, then under "Alsa audio" choose Bridge type: "ALSA->loop->jack" and click on start. Now any program using loopback card goes to jack output.
To listen to youtube or anything sounding within firefox (or recording it) you send firefox audio to Loopback card, just start firefox typing in a terminal:
If you open catia you will see sound comes out from alsa2jack and is wired into alsa_pcm (jack's output). The benefit of this is that you can now insert any jack tool in between like a calf 8 band equalizer to enhance the sound, or wire it to anything.
