JamesDSP randomly crashes on Arch Linux
I've been having this issue for some time now but when i asked one of my friends if they have it too they didnt...
JamesDSP can randomly crash out of nowhere when starting or stopping audio (or while playing sometimes)
the contents of the crash-prev.dmp(made it auto restart with systemd)
Caught SIGSEGV (11) in ???

i installed the non git version in hopes of it solving this issue but sadly didnt help
just looked at other reports about crashing and basically all were playing audio via firefox.... could it be there is some kind of conflict?
I have the same problem... But, I dont use Firefox, it crashes randomly when other programs make a sound. Discord, Brave browser and pretty much anything can cause JamesDSP to crash, usually every 1-3 hours... Im on Arch buildt Garuda.
I'm having the exactly sabe problem, did you find any solution? everything is up-to-date but the problem persist
Unfortunately the same issue here on Arch Linux. Actually I was able to run jamesdsp succesfully only once after installation, after that it always crashes with SIGSEGV (11) on startup.
For the record, I don't even have Firefox installed, and for various reasons I'm currently stuck with kernel 5.16.14 on this old laptop.

@denielt i did but its not a very elegant solution... i just made JamesDSP into a service that would restart whenever it stopped (can be a crash or just closing it)
I don't have any crash on git. Only problem when jamesdsp stops play audio after laptop sleep and audio clicks when new stream starts play.
Can someone else try to compile JDSP from git to double-check whether the latest version from git fixes this issue? The stable version (including the one on the AUR) is currently pretty old and doesn't include a few bug fixes.
Manually compiling the app also adds debug symbols to the crash dumps, so I can properly read them if you should still encounter crashes.
@ThePBone Oh, yes, the git version seems to work better, or, at least it doesn't crash straight away like the non-git version did. Will continue testing. (FYI Arch users, there's a 'jamesdsp-git' version on AUR, too)

ive been using that one for a long time and it seems to be behaving in the passed it also liked to break/crash but for now it seems fine
for anyone having issues with JamesDSP crashing... one way to fix it (tho not the cleanest/most elegant way) is to make it a systemd (if your using systemd) service
the service file i use
[Unit]
Description=JamesDSP Audio manager
After=pipewire.service
[Service]
Type=simple
#RemainAfterExit=true #doesnt do anything
ExecStart=/usr/bin/jamesdsp
RestartSec=1
Restart=always
#Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
I am running it as a user service instead of root (dont know why you would even want it as root) located at
/etc/systemd/user/JamesDSP.service
all you need to do then is reload your user daemons (systemctl --user daemon-reload)
enable it (systemctl --user enable JamesDSP)
start it (systemctl --user start JamesDSP)
then check if its active and running (systemctl --user status JamesDSP)
when using the Restart=always option it will always keep James running, even when manually quitting it will just relaunch...
If you want it to only restart on failure you should use Restart=on-failure instead
i will close this issue for now because it seems the git version more stable and there is a workaround for crashes
