JACK applications on PipeWire
This test case tests that PipeWire can support JACK based applications for playback and recording.
Prerequisites
- This test case should be performed on a bare machine.
- The computer must be equipped with a sound device.
- Install a desktop version of Fedora 34 (or later).
- Log in as a common user.
- Install the
pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit
package. Using the--allowerasing
option might be necessary for successful installation. - Install the
yoshimi
andqjackctl
packages. - Connect your speakers (headphones) to the default sound device.
How to test
- Start Yoshimi.
- Start QJackCtl.
- Go to QJackCtl and click on the Graph button to open Jack connections.
- Find yoshimi in the graph and make sure that its output (right side of the icon) is connected to the system’s playback slots.
- If not, create a connection to send Yoshimi’s output to the system playback device.
- In Yoshimi, click on Virtual Keybord and wait until a keyboard window appears.
- Use your mouse to click on the virtual keys to play something or use the following keys to play – Z, X, C, V, B, N, and M.
- If you have more sound devices available, use QJackCtl to create a new connection to another sound device and try playing some tones in Yoshimi.
Expected results
- QJackCtl and Yoshimi start successfully.
- Connections exist on the Graph tab of QJackCtl or they can be successfully created there.
- Yoshimi produces audible sounds on the connected sound device.
- If you have more than one sound device, you should be able to connect any of them and get Yoshimi playing over that device.
