So i have installed pop os an ubuntu linux distro and also installed jack with the following commands.

apt-get install qjackctl pulseaudio-module-jack

Then configure qjackctl to run the following command after startup. Copy it into “Setup…” > “Options” > “Execute script after Startup”:

pacmd set-default-sink jack_out

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

This works perfectly now, no matter what app i have open they all have sound.The problem is i cannot control the global volume in pop os.Any help guys?

Try installing pavucontrol or maybe check out this link https://askubuntu.com/questions/552485/no-volume-control-after-joining-pulseaudio-with-jack

Did you just switch to Linux or did you use it before? I can recommend the KXStudio stuff. Makes live much easier.

I have Linux for many years just didn’t use Jack.Kx studio repos don’t work well in this os,many people have problems as I can see around the web in recent Ubuntu versions.The volume goes back to normal if i close a jack enabled app.

You can use an alsa mixer (hardware control app) to set volume while using jack.
