The final piece of installation and start up information by the dev @s-fairchild is about running IDJC from the command line with Jack support with PipeWire server. I installed IDJC on Ubuntu 22.04 with PipeWire and Jack but when I started the usual way (clicking the application icon), the profile screen opened then disappeared and the app did not start.

I tried the recommended way from the command line and the app opened but could not make a connection to the Icecast server. I searched about enabling PipeWire on my OS and found various articles and tutorials and nothing succeeded, in some cases, even following the instructions failed because important steps were missed by the authors.

Finally, I found this link below, which gave the complete steps and solved all issues that included being unable to start the Jack server, ALSA linking and most critically, starting IDJC: https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/04/pipewire-replace-pulseaudio-ubuntu-2204/
