How To Install zita-ajbridge on Ubuntu 20.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install zita-ajbridge on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is zita-ajbridge
zita-ajbridge is:
This package provides two applications, zita-a2j and zita-j2a. They allow one to use an ALSA device as a Jack client, to provide additional capture (a2j) or playback (j2a) channels.
Functionally these are equivalent to the alsa_in and alsa_out clients that come with Jack, but they provide much better audio quality. The resampling ratio will typically be stable within 1 PPM and change only very smoothly. Delay will be stable as well even under worse case conditions, e.g. the Jack client running near the end of the cycle. Task: ubuntustudio-desktop-core, ubuntustudio-desktop
