Installation for PulseAudio

This section is dedicated to systems using PulseAudio as the audio server. If you are using PipeWire, please go here.

• Flatpak
• Arch Linux (AUR)
• Build from sources

Flatpak

Universal binary packages for all distros.

The legacy PulseAudio build is not available on FlatHub.. You need to retrieve it from my personal repository:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists thepbones-repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ThePBone/flatpak-repo/main/thepbone.flatpakrepo
flatpak install me.timschneeberger.jdsp4linux.pulse

Note: Flatpaks are sandboxed. This application can only access ~/.var/app/me.timschneeberger.jdsp4linux.pulse/ by default.

Arch

AUR packages are available:

• Stable version

  

  yay -S jamesdsp-pulse
  

• Development version

  

  yay -S jamesdsp-pulse-git
