No Audio input to Jack after latest Big Sur update

Open maingig opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug

I can not get Audio into Jack after the latest Big Sur update.

Environment

  • JACK Version: 1.9.19
  • Operating System: macOS Big Sur 11.6.3
  • Installation: I used the latest (1.9.20) installer distributed through this site

Steps To Reproduce

I created an aggregate device which combines the built-in mic (confirmed level in sound settings) and Loopback ( I like Loopback because of the Gui which has level indicators). I enter this device in QjackCtl and hit start (48K and 256 Buffer, though I am not running Jacktrip) I connect the mic to a Loopback port in the Graph window.

Expected vs. actual behavior

I expect audio and get none.

Had the same problem in macOS Monterey 12.3.1. QjackCtl never asks for microphone permissions. Therefore macOS blocks access to all input ports. Workaround:

  1. Start Terminal.app
  2. In Terminal.app start any command that inputs audio (sox/ffmpeg/vlc/audacity)
  3. Allow Microphone access for Terminal.app once you are asked
  4. Start QjackCtl from Terminal.app - it will inherit Microphone permission from the Terminal.app
