How_to_use_iso_image

Laurent Schwartz

To use Jamulus OS v1, you need a computer with a sound card and a wired access to the internet.

Steps to follow :

  1. Download an iso file (see Files section)
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/jamulus-os/files/JamulusOS/v1/

  2. Download Rufus on windows (or mkusb on Linux) https://rufus.ie/ .

  3. Open Rufus, drag and drop the iso image to Rufus windows, select the USB drive/stick you
    want to overwrite with Jamulus OS, add persistence with the persistence slider, click on
    the start button and wait for the write process to complete.

  4. Reboot your computer and select your usb drive/stick in the boot options menu. The computer boots
    on the USB drive/stick. (Select "Try Jamulus OS without installation" in the grub menu)

  5. Connect your hardware (Network and sound card(s))

  6. Right click (Execute) on the "Hardware settings (For Jamulus)" icons or search it in the
    application menu. A program will probe your hardware (Network and sound card(s) ) and state
    if it can be used with Jamulus software to jam online. This can take several
    minutes ... It will display a report for network and audio in firefox at the end of the process.

  7. If the hardware check was successfull, choose a sound card and report the proposed
    settings ("Sample rate", "frames", "interface" card name) to Qjackctl or
    ubuntustudio controls. (Icons on dekstop).

  8. Right click (execute) on "Jamulus" icon and then click connect. Select a server and you're done !
    You will have to tweak the Jamulus settings (Jitter buffers, audio quality and number of audio channels).
