JamesDSP running but no hearable effects

[nikgnomic]

I posted screenshot for Playback tab only to illustrate how a user can switch the DSP output to different output devices

Screenshot in post #9 is showing no audio streams, so JamesDSP may have been suspended whilst idle (check pactl list sinks)
If audio playback is started JamesDSP should be visible in Playback tab alongside active audio streams

PulseAudio can be reconfigured so that JamesDSP is always visible in Playback tab by removing module-suspend-on-idle to suspend sinks

@nikgnomic

The PulseAudio module can be unloaded temporarily with this command

pacmd load-module module-suspend-on-idle

if that works Pulseaudio configuration can be changed to disable the module permanently

sudo sed -i 's/load-module module-suspend-on-idle/#load-module module-suspend-on-idle/g' /etc/pulse/default.pa

this adds a comment tag ‘#’ at the start of the line to stop module being loaded

But disabling module-suspend-on-idle is not good for laptop power management
