Hi everybody I’m kind of newbie to changing audio drivers in linux.

My laptop runs on Ubuntu Studio 20.04, Xcfe desktop. Tried to install Pipewire to see if I could solve some compatibility problems between Pulse and Jack, but couldn’t make Pipewire run properly.

Then I tried to go back to my previous configuration but now I can’t make Jack work. Only pulse is running. Jack can’t seem to get started, and when I open QJackCtl there is no way to configure it or making it start.

I need Jack for some applications, so I would be most than interested in running Jack again, and also the bridgin between Pulse and Jack that comes by default in Ubuntu Studio 20.04.

Does anyone have any idea on how could I enable again Jack? The other option is to reinstall Ubuntu (or install a newer version) but this would a pain in the ass. Any help is welcome <3
