You need to use jack and pulseaudio together. Here's what needs to be installed along with a youtube video 1) sudo apt-get pulseaudio-module-jack 2) sudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa add lines load-module module-jack-sink and load-module module-jack-source See video [this video]

This Youtube video: "Jack and PulseAudio Together as Friends - Linux" [this video] seemed to have some answers: The key to the solution appeared to be making sure pulseaudio-module-jack is installed with: aptitude install pulseaudio-module-jack then sudo editing the /etc/pulse/default.pa file to include two lines under the load audio drivers manually section: load-module module-jack-sink load-module module-jack-source then - I think - restarting pulseaudio. I just restarted the PC (lazy, I know) and it worked a treat... firing up Ardour no longer killed pulseaudio, they played happily together.

This is what I was missing! [this video] Apparently, Google didn't think it was important to tell me that PulseAudio can now work directly with Jack. Lots of forum questions about that exact problem with no answers... Anyway, set it up according to the video, and PA creates a loopback device for Jack to connect to. Jack then makes the connections like it's known for. Essentially, the steps are: Install Jack if it isn't already. sudo apt install jackd Install the PulseAudio module for it. sudo apt install pulseaudio-module-jack Edit PA's config file. sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa (the video uses vim, I prefer nano, you use what you like) Add some lines under ### Load audio drivers statically...
