What other apps and distros do you use to round out your studio?

How do I use my PC as bluetooth headset with Jack?

Post by paul »

Hello. Is there a JACK support for bluez? I would like to use my PC as bluetooth headset, but:

- It seems the only way is through pulseaudio,
- I installed pulseaudio and tried, but it does not work.

Is there any specific thing that we (Jack users) should take care of? Has anyone found specific instructions that work? I'm not a fan of pulse, but don't mind working with it, if its the only way.

KXStudio 14.04.02 user with ThinkPad T450s, if that is relevant. Thanks!

Ok, managed to get it working with PulseAudio, even though it's really annoying (no nice GUI, no patchbay, extra structure...).
I would *love* to see a package like jack-bluetooth, or a jack-a2dp bridge, that I can connect in ladish/catia/claudia however I want!

Does anyone know if there is such a thing, at least in development?
Would be another step towards the "Yes, Linux is just as cool and user-friendly as everyone else".

Use pulseaudio as a plugin with jack maybe? https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/questi ... nc-module/ I'd imagine it would be frustratingly laggy though.
