Jack with Bluetooth
Thank you to the developers of a great piece of software. I'm using it to underpin music production.
Recently when away from home I wanted to work on a piece of music using a combination of jack-keyboard, and Muse, underpinned by Jack. But I only had my bluetooth headphones with me.
After hours of Googling and fiddling I still failed to get Jack to play nice with bluetooth via pulse.
I can send audio as a simultaneous output to the laptop speaker and the bluetooth speaker (i.e. avoiding the Jack sink in pulse); or I can send audio to the Jack sink. But I can't simultaneously send in parallel to the Jack sink and the Bluetooth speaker. The obvious solution is to get the Bluetooth driver identified as an audio output in Jack, but I'll be damned if I can work out how that's possible.
Is there any way to send audio through both through the pulse sink and there to bluetooth; or to send audio simultaneously to both Jack and Bluetooth speakers?
Currently, you can use pulseaudio loopback module to achieve it. Just pass audio from monitor source to sink.
Thank you. I'll have a look at loopback module. If I understand it correctly this means that the output will route to Jack server correctly. But how will it route to Bluetooth? I will try to get this working and come back here if I succeed or fail.
what is the status here? I am unable to use bluetooth output for jack (which I am using because supercollider wants it).
apparently, one solution is to start my application like this: pw-jack sclang.
That executable (pw-jack) is provided (on Fedora 39) by pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit-libs (despite the name "-libs")
