KXStudio: Jack needs to restart at every time I login in?

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

KXStudio: Jack needs to restart at every time I login in?

Post by daggaz »

Hello, I will try to be clear, I'm not very good at writing in English.
I had been using KXStudio in Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome Shell, now I moved to Linux Mint 14 and am very happy with the change, I have installed KXStudio without any problem. But KXS still have a small bug that had already detected in Ubuntu 12.04.
Every time I log in, I need to manually open Cadence and force Jack to restart so I can listen PulseAudio applications (such as Firefox or Banshee) ... Is this normal?
I remember in previous versions this was not a problem, I just log in my session and could watch videos on YouTube or listen to music in Rhythmbox without having to touch Cadence.

You should try the newest updates. In the latest KXStudio, PulseAudio is not needed at all. You can just turn on the ALSA-loop-jack bridge and Firefox etc. will send out sound without PulseAudio.

On my system Jack starts always fine; but whenever I suspend, the ALSA-loop-JACK bridge gets turned off and needs to be turned on again, which is quite annoying. I submitted a bug report about it on Launchpad.

In fact, I'm using the newest version of KXStudio, I install it yesterday using the Ubuntu's PPAs, and today change the bridge to "ALSA->loop->JACK" (it was "ALSA->Pulse Audio->JACK" by defalt?), but sadly, I still having the same thing. Every time I login and, as you, suspend, I must force restart with Cadence because the status of the Server its off...
I test to open Catia and see the conections, but when I open Catia, its like restart the server, because everythings start to sound...

I know this is an old thread, but I'd love to know if anybody has come up with a solution or workaround for needing to force restart JACK after resume.

If I knew the command lines that cadence uses for the restarts, I could probably trigger a script to run after resume...
