JACK2 (jackdmp) is a C++ implementation of the JACK low-latency audio server for multi-processor machines. It replaces the JACK1 core with a data-flow client activation model and lock-free graph access for glitch-free, parallel audio processing.
Use cases
- run a low-latency audio server for pro audio on linux
- route audio between multiple applications with sample-accurate timing
- connect midi and audio applications in a real-time graph
- reduce audio glitches on multi-core machines during recording
- build daw-style audio pipelines with parallel client processing
When to choose
- you need low-latency, real-time audio routing between applications
- you run a multi-core system and want parallel client execution
- you need glitch-free connect/disconnect while audio streams
- you use linux pro-audio tools that depend on JACK
When to avoid
- you only need simple desktop audio playback
- you prefer PulseAudio/PipeWire-only setups without JACK compatibility needs
- you need a library rather than an audio server daemon
