Ubuntu Studio Controls

This section is for the version of Ubuntu Studio Controls 1.12.6 included with Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS and already included in the Ubuntu Studio Backports PPA.

Ubuntu Studio Controls is the easiest and best way to configure your Ubuntu Studio installation for real-time audio. Ubuntu Studio Controls has several key features that make it unique:

Obtaining Ubuntu Studio Controls

Ubuntu Studio Controls is installed in Ubuntu Studio by default. However, the version covered in this page is only part of Ubuntu Studio 20.04 and higher, or any supported Ubuntu Studio version with the backports PPA.

To obtain this newer version, add the Ubuntu Studio Backports PPA.

If you are running a different official flavor of Ubuntu than Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu Studio Controls installs with the Ubuntu Studio Installer.

If not already installed, open a terminal and type:
 sudo apt install ubuntustudio-controls 

Ubuntu Studio Controls can be found in the Audio Production menu.

At the top of the window, you will see a button to enable Real Time Permissions for audio. If this button is available, click it, and follow the instructions to log-out and log back in.

Audio Setup

This is where the configuration for the JACK Audio Connection Kit (Jack) is done, and shows the status of the JACK audio system

The buttons at the bottom of this tab allow you to Start or Restart Jack, Stop Jack (return system audio to default settings), or Apply Audio Settings without restating Jack, if possible.

Additionally, to facilitate routing and audio control, three more buttons are presented to conveniently open other applications for control: QASMixer (a graphical control for the ALSA audio backend), Pulse Control (PAVUControl, a graphical control for PulseAudio), and Carla (an audio plugin host/rack and patchbay for Jack).
