Dj controller with jack and pulseaudio
Hi guys. I have a problem. My sound in the system don't working. I use QjackCtl on fedora 33 and choose my numark partymix dj controller and there is no sound. I don't know how to deal with it and will be happy if you would help.
About fanny things. When I use alsa instead jack sound API in mixxx all is working, but in the system still nothing.
Any help needed.

Re: Dj controller with jack and pulseaudio
Hi @Zikmaf,
your problem is not clear to me.
Are you not getting any sound with JACK and ALSA?
Can you post a screenshot of your soundcard preferences in Mixxx?
You can also use Mixxx with Pulseaudio (not great performance, but if you don't need low latency ... ), just launch Mixxx from terminal and select "pulse" in the soundcard settings.
your problem is not clear to me.

Yes I'm not getting sound with jack and alsa.
There is screenshot of mixxx preferences
I don't know how to do what you said about Mixxx with Pulseaudio and don't know purpose of that.
I tried, but it doesn't help

Re: Dj controller with jack and pulseaudio
Maybe your ALSA volume levels are down or muted. Install the alsa-utils package and check them with alsamixer, or qasmixer if you prefer a GUI mixer.
Re: Dj controller with jack and pulseaudio
I have a new one fanny thing. When I connect my headphones to my computer directly and in QjackCtl I choose my partymix souncard I hear sound in the headphones. And when I test sound in my system I hear it again in my headphones, but when I connect my headphones to dj controller I hear nothing

Re: Dj controller with jack and pulseaudio
@Zikmaf, your Mixxx settings for ALSA look correct.
As already suggested by @sunrat you have to check your soundcard ALSA volume, but the screenshot you posted shows you are watching the device that PulseAudio create in ALSA (where there is only a Master fader, I guess) and not your soundcard.
You have to switch to the integrated soundcard in your dj controller, I don't know how to do in QASmixer, i generally use alsamixer in terminal.
Anyway, given that Mixxx take exclusive control of you soundcard when in ALSA mode it shouldn't be necessary, so for example a custom .asoundrc file could be the cause of this problem, interfering with Mixxx.
I would suggest you to join https://mixxx.discourse.group/ where there are many Mixxx devs and users where they can give you a better support.
EDIT: For the problem in JACK instead it looks like you have to specify different outputs

Re: Dj controller with jack and pulseaudio
Installing Qasmixer should have also installed Qashctl. Open that and press F6 to show the individual hardware controls. One of them is hw:Card, when you select that a list of other controls will show in the left column of which one should be the one you need to raise. Also make sure it's not muted.
