Does anyone know how to get JACK effects working in Manjaro?

Question

I've been trying to get zita-at1 to work with discord calls for a while, to allow for autotune shenanigans.

I've installed the JACK and Cadence packages and upon opening up Cadence, it shows the error message: jackdbus is not available and does not allow me to advance any further.

I'm using PulseAudio for all my main audio stuff and PulseEffects for all my audio effects, but it's quite limited, and I want to move to JACK, which has much more support for plugins.

If possible, I want to keep using PulseAudio for my main audio interface and JACK for plugins and effects.

Edit: Do not have QjackCTL installed.

Do you by any chance have QjackCTL installed? I would go about removing that first for cadence to work properly. Cadence and QjackCTL will combat each other.
Ref: Manjaro Forums - jackdbus is not available

Also, the Arch Wiki is very well documented on Jack and Pulse.

Have a look at these links:

I've managed to get audio out from Cadence now, but I cannot output audio to my Bluetooth headphones from within Cadence. It only uses my laptop's inbuilt speakers, even when plugging in some speakers via the 3.5mm socket. Edit: I don't have qjackctl installed at all. – PrintStringName May 15 '20 at 11:18
@PrintStringName What is your output of `jackd` – garshol May 15 '20 at 13:02
here's the output of command `jackd` https://imgur.com/Ff6ynEJ.png – PrintStringName May 15 '20 at 13:08
Seems like that was jackdmp? – garshol May 16 '20 at 10:54
would it be helpful to see any other configuration menus? like the pulseaudio menu or the JACK menu – PrintStringName May 17 '20 at 09:58
Yes @PrintStringName. Put it in OP. – garshol May 17 '20 at 14:20
