I've recently installed Bitwig to make some music. It installed fine, but it initially didn't produce any sound through my speakers. It also gave an error saying that it couldn't find Jack (or something similar, I don't exactly remember what it said). I then found this topic in which it was suggested to run the following:
sudo apt-get install alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsamixergui patchage jackd2 jackd2-firewire qjackctl a2jmidid gmidimonitor
After that Bitwig now works like a charm.
The only pretty annoying side effect, is that when I've got Bitwig open no other application can produce sound. So I can't play a video through vlc or watch a youtube video. Especially not being able to play youtube is annoying since I'm watching a lot of instructions video's to learn how to make music using Bitwig.
I suppose the problem has something to do with jack and alsa, but I've got no clue how I would start debugging or fixing this.
Does anybody know what I can do to be able to play sound through both Bitwig and the browser? All tips are welcome!
