Linux audio question
I'm having issues with audio skips/blips/faggotry using mpd with alsa. How the fuck do I get mpd to work with jack? I compiled it with jack support and changed audio_output to Jack but there's no sound and the logs say it failed to connect to the jack server, despite the fact that I started the server with qjackctl and everything else works fine (but everything else is not connecting directly to Jack, rather to alsa which then connects to Jack)
I have googled my error message for hours and found nothing. The manpages just say "yea set your audio_output to Jack, you'll be golden". The fack guys.
I'm at the point I'm going to try pulseaudio but really don't want to after all the faggotry I read about it

That doesn't discuss Jack at all. I should mention I never had issues with alsa and mpd until I got a usb dac (focusrite 2i2). Now it skips a few times every song for a fraction of a second.
No idea how to fix this, but I hear Jack has real-time priority which seems like a good place to start. If only mpd wouldn't be a fuckin bitch and connect to my jack server. And if only there were more documentation for this online

well, the linux audio backend isn't a widely discussed topic here.
I'm not saying that you should do this, but I got pulseaudio working alright after following that guide in the link with messing with an option or two.
I don't know jack about JACK though.

Do you use mpd and a usb dac?

>usb dac
cruising for a bruising.
that said, pavucontrol lets you control multiple audio outs with relative ease. if you get frustrated enough you could try.

Do you use mpd and a usb dac with pulse audio? That is the only time that I've noticed an issue with alsa, when using my onboard sound card everything worked fine
