The problem is, when I start the jack and plug the headphone in, the sound from the speakers stops, but there is also no sound in the headphones.

I found a tutorial with the same case at http://tedfelix.com/linux/jack-headphones.html
1. But, I do not know how many channels are on my sound card. How to know the number of my soundcard channels?

2. Although I do not know, I keep trying the tutorial. I got to the stage of typing

Code: Select all

jackd -d alsa --period 32 --device hpfix
Then the error appears

Code: Select all

bash: jackd: command not found
maybe it's because I installed jack2-dbus instead of jack. Then, how to solve it ?

Thank you

Check application streams in pavucontrol Playback tab
When JACK is started, anything playing to Built-in Analog Stereo Speakers will stop as device is no longer available
Playback stream needs to be manually re-routed to Pulseaudio Jack Sink
