Package conflicts with pulseaudio-module-jack on Fedora

Service_Code_30 · 10-28-2023, 03:12 AM

To make a long story short, I have been tinkering around with a program called guitarix which is an open-source guitar amp simulator. It requires JACK which I would like to get configured to work alongside PulseAudio on my fedora 38 system (Nobara linux). Basically I would like to be able to run the guitarix and hear the live output from my guitar through the amp sim while still being able to hear other system sounds like discord, browser audio, spotify, games etc. It seems doable, and some googling has led me to solutions which require the package 'pulseaudio-module-jack' to essentially bridge the two audio systems together. Unfortunately, I am unable to install this package because of the following conflicts:

Code:

sudo dnf install pulseaudio-module-jack

  - conflicting requests
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

I am confused between the relationship between PulseAudio and PipeWire. Several months ago I tried removing the conflicting packages and ended up breaking sound on my system completely. I was able to get the the correct packages back, but I gave up on this whole thing after that. I'm not even entirely sure what sound configuration my system is using because I have packages of both installed and don't really understand the distinction between the two, or which ones are needed:

Code:

Code:

pactl info | grep 'Server Name'
Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.82)

Can anyone explain what combination of packages I need to have installed to get this to work without breaking audio on my system?

If you are using pipewire and/or wireplumber you might find a package,

pipewire-media-session-jack

may do what you are looking for.

I'm not sure guitarix is compatible with pipewire...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I couldn't seem to find any package called "pipewire-media-session-jack"

Perhaps an altered approach is needed?:
