When using JACK and Guitarix, system sound doesn't work anymore

[forivinx]

When I want to connect my electric guitar to my computer I always lose my system sound. All I can hear is Guitarix.

Is there a way to have both, the general system sound output and the Guitarix sound output at the same time?

To connect my guitar, the first step I do is I run this:

Code: Select all

alsa_in -j Guitar -d hw:1 -q 1

To create a new jack interface called "Guitar" that is connected to my USB to guitar adapter ('hw:1' in my case).
At this point I already lose my system audio.

Then I start Guitarix and JACK with this profile: (see attachment)

What happens when you start something using system audio first, like Hydrogen, or Carla
and then start the guitar?

I use this, slightly different command, for my usb Mustang amp, after an
audio app is running:

/usr/bin/alsa_in -j mustang -d hw1: "Mustang Amplifier" -q 1 2>&1 1> /dev/null

Cheers

Most likely your system sounds are going thru pulse. You need to config your pulse to use jack.
