[SOLVED]JACK Output in Minecraft not working over bluetooth headphones

I use pipewire as my audio system and have only good things to say about the experience using Bluetooth headphones! That is, if it weren't for Minecraft not working on them (despite working when an audio device is plugged into the headphone jack at the back of the motherboard). When I go into the Minecraft audio settings, it seems to be using JACK for audio, and it does not see any audio device on my system. Could someone assist? I tried my best finding solutions on the internet to no avail. I was hoping launching the game using pw-jack would have worked, but nothing really changed.

Welcome. The easiest option is probably to tell minecraft to not use jack.

As it uses openal to interface with the audio system, you could try to have minecraft use pulseaudio by setting that in ~/.alsoftrc

[general]
drivers = pulse

or remove pipewire-jack if you do not need jack compatibility.

Thanks so much! Creating the config file worked immediately!

Good to know that works.

Please edit the initial post and add [SOLVED] before the title.
