I'm running PulseAudio and jackd according to the instructions at <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#PulseAudio_through_JACK_the_new_way>. My consumer grade sound card (Intel) presents 6 input ports in JACK. Ports 1 and 2 are the default ports, and go to a couple of JBL studio monitors via an external amp. Input ports 3 and 4 go out through the "rear" jack on the onboard soundcard and are my beep-and-bop ports, and go to a couple of small desktop computer speakers.
PulseAudio JACK Sink comes up in qjackctl with outputs front-left and front-right, automatically connected to the system ports 1 and 2 (playback_1 and playback_2). I want my system sounds, which come through PulseAudio, kept out of my main speakers and sent instead to my small desktop speakers, which means that I want qjackctl to start the PA jack_sink and jack_source modules and set the connection to system inputs playback_3 and playback_4 instead of the default playback_1 and playback_2. Is there any way to do this using pactl and pacmd from the JACK startup scripts, or some other way to do it without disconnecting the default connections and manually activating a JACK patchbay? I can find precious little documentation on module-jack-sink and module-jack-source and how to control the default setup in JACK. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | --- The Roadie http://www.fmp.com | -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
