I installed cadence

This is what my audio looks like in the alsa mixer tab.


this is what it looks like in gnome-settings


this is the cadence config settings that I currently have


when I try to start the ALSA AUDIO using snd-loop daemon I get this output to the log.

right now the main concern is to get jack being able to play audio because while I am studying linux audio i watch videos, then to go to play I have to stop turn off cadence and jack to play audio then stop the audio and switch jack back on to continue.

Also I don't know if this is the correct way but I have midi working through the alsa sequencer in cadence jack settings.

I'd guess not, so install it and reboot.
the alsa audio bridge should then work.

after installing the kxstudio-default-settings package and restarting the laptop cadence now looks like this.

//I don't know how to resize these images but if you look at the full image there's the cadence patchbay on the right side.


and I am able to start the plugin but there's still no sound and the other audio source if is still playing will still stop.

The is the log output from cadence.

stopping jack through cadence and the audio resumes.

JACK is running and the alsa-audio bridge works.

Because you're running gnome you'll likely need pulseaudio.
So I recommend you to stop the alsa-audio bridge and set it to "alsa -> pulseaudio -> jack", then start the pulseaudio bridge.
(if the pulseaudio bridge doesn't start, install the pulseaudio-module-jack package)

The gnome mixer is useless when using jack though, because it only supports pulseaudio and now pulseaudio has been made 'slave' to jack.
(ie, no longer controlling the soundcard)

Use something else for the mixer, like volti.

There's a new menu in my gnome sound settings called loop-back which if I select that option after starting jack through cadence the audio works but again I still have to go into that sound setting screen to do it.

//loopback, there's also on in the mic section as well


I've looked into volti and it seems like something that I would prefer to pulse audio but it seems totally removing pulse audio will cripple gnome so that's not an option. After installing volti with apt I have this version:
Installed: 0.2.3-5
Candidate: 0.2.3-5
Version table:
*** 0.2.3-5 0
500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I changed the config file and it seems volti starts automatically when I reboot my computer because running volti from the command line it says:
Only one instance is allowed
Exiting

but I don't see anything and the default gnome sound panel is still there.

okay i've seemed to have solve this issue.

I've added this to my rc.local file after installing the "pulseaudio-module-jack package" so that I can continue to use pulse audio with cadence.

after that restarting works, everything works as expected, audio wise anyways.

Thanks for the help @falkTX
