I am having a bit of trouble getting alsa to play nicely with my
snd_loopback.
before starting I enabled snd_aloop but with a basic setup like this:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
audio plays from the browser but not from jackd.
I was following this guide:
https://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2636&start=15#p11943
i setup my .asoundrc file like this following the guide
pcm.loopmix {
type dmix
ipc_key 219345 # any unique number here
slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,0,0"
}
pcm.loopsnoop {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 219346 # any unique number here
slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,1,1"
}
pcm.combo {
type asym
playback.pcm "loopmix"
capture.pcm "loopsnoop"
}
# this makes native ALSA apps default to using dmix
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "combo"
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card Loopback
}
restarted then called these commands:
alsa_in -j cloop -dhw:Loopback,1,0
alsa_out -j ploop -dhw:Loopback,0,1
after doing that I see the alsa_in and alsa_out links in jack routing table
but connecting them does nothing. There's still no audio output.
I am using QasMixer and all volumes are maxed out, if I cross system input
to output i get feedback so that part works.

I've been reading the asoundrc documentation but I am still a bit confused.
can anyone on this mailing list help me sort this out?
