I have been trying to follow the instrucitons here: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Using_JACK_with_PulseAudio



error: attribute 'pulseaudio' missing, at /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:17:33
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)


I receive the above when trying



  hardware.pulseaudio.package = pkgs.pulseaudio.override { jackaudioSupport = true; };


I've also found this github commit - but I don't think it's in the nixos channel yet? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/f4811789605ee3fb1c069fd6c569aae32cd27d1e/pkgs/misc/jackaudio/default.nix

          It looks like pulseaudio is not installed, I would do the following.



          Add to your configuration:



          hardware.pulseaudio.enable = true;
          hardware.pulseaudio.support32Bit = true; ## If compatibility with 32-bit
          applications is desired.


          You may need to add users to the audio group for them to be able to use audio devices:



          users.extraUsers.alice.extraGroups = [ "audio" ... ];

            I think I had to update the channels,



            I've added myself to the "audio" groups as mentioned by @Michael.



            Add this to my config:



            let 
            hardware.pulseaudio.package = pkgs.pulseaudio.override { jackaudioSupport = true; };
            in
            {
            ...


            I had to kill pulseaudio and stop it from starting: systemctl --user disable pulseaudio



            I had to install these packages:



             unstable.jack2
            libjack2
            qjackctl


            Add this file:



            cat ~/.config/pulse/client.conf
            daemon-binary=/var/run/current-system/sw/bin/pulseaudio


            And then using qjackctl set the jackd path to jackdbus and enable the two settings (Setup > Misc) for Enable D-Bus interface and Enable JACK D-Bus interface.



            Not sure if all the above is required and optimal - but it works on initial inspection.
