Hello all,
I use a Yeti microphone with an audio output to listen to everything because with the headphone jack in my computer, there is a weird squealing noise. Using the Yeti as an output isn't normally a problem, but when I tried installing Reaper (FL Studio is giving me issues for some reason and I am in the process of looking for a new DAW,) it wants me to use JACK. When I try activating JACK with QJackCtl, A bubble pops up on my computer that says "Built in Audio," indicating that the audio source has changed. When I play anything outside Reaper, it goes to my computer speakers instead of the mic output. Audacity is also able to combat this by manually setting which playback device is used, but I want the entire system audio to be routed through JACK if that is practical. I have tried going into the advanced settings and changing the output device to my microphone to no avail. I have also tried both pulseaudio-jack-module and pipewire-jack, but they both do the same thing. ALSA also gives me this issue. The previously mentioned Reddit commenter suggested that I enable JACK D-BUS in Qjackctl, but that also didn't work. What should I do?
I am using Linux Mint 22 with KDE Plasma 5.27.11
