Hi people,
I am a exact new to raspi and I am developing an installation using puredata on my paspi 5 device with HiFi Berry DAC + ADC as the soundcard.
After struggling the whole afternoon to make the system recognise the soundcard, now it is finally to play any audio with a media player. However when I tried to run puredata, it shows the following text:
opened alsa MIDI client 129 in:1 out:1
JACK: couldn’t connect to the server, is JACK running?
i re-ran the patchbox wizard to set up the jack server, it says “the jack server is busy or the settings provided are not supported by your sound card”
also when i run “sudo systemctl status jack” it shows
× jack.service - JACK Server

Does anyone know how do i solve it, it kinda emergent for me to complete this project tho:( BIG THANKS
If you have installed some software, it might be conflicting with Jack server by taking exclusive control of the sound card.
What settings did you use for Jack?
Try journalctl -u jack to see more output by Jack.
Sorry I am an exact newbie and I might have no clue about what settings I use for jack… I did remember during the fresh start of the system when it didn’t recognize my sound card yet, it failed setting up the jack settings so I skipped that part.
Do you know how I could check that?
Also I tried the command you suggested and it shows:

Looks a bit messed up tho lol
This is how it looked like in my puredata btw
Run patchbox, enter the jack menu and reconfigure it.
Oh btw I didn’t install any other softwares other than the default softwares installed already in my patchbox os
