Jack service not starting

Patchbox OS
1

I’m trying to set up a headless back-end for pianoteq. I’m using a RPi3 with a Hifi berry hat and for some reason when I boot, the jack daemon isn’t started. I can start it manually using the config utility but then booting again goes back to a non-running jackd.

Any idea why this happens ?
Thanks !

What is the output of sudo systemctl status jack after booting?

I have same problem and my output is this:

patch@patchbox:~ $ sudo systemctl status jack
● jack.service - JACK Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/jack.service; disabled; vendor preset: en
   Active: inactive (dead)

Do:

sudo systemctl enable jack
sudo systemctl start jack

Hi @Giedrius,

I’m having this problem too on a freshly installed and updated build of Patchbox on a RPi 4. Your fix works, but just wanted to file a bug report that can still be an issue? Perhaps it worth adding the specific instructions to the troubleshooting page?

Anyhow, thanks again for all your work, Patchbox has made my life MUCH easier!
