I have configured Jack from QJackCtl such that the
interface I am using is my POD (interface box in the
Setup window - interface which is different than the
one used in Pulse). Now, I cannot really go on. I
guess I have two options to loop my sound back to the
speakers (and please correct me if I am wrong): (1)
specifying the input and output device in the Setup
window appropriately; (2) specifying a proper
connection in the Connections window.<br>
<br>
Option 1. The Input Device and Output Device scroll
down list in the setup window <br>

<div>Yes these are the options that you'll need to use to
set up the POD as audio device. Are you sure that ALSA
supports the POD device? It seems like there might be a
driver issue, as some other Line6 devices require a custom
driver to work with Linux: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

I hope I'm wrong!</div>

I do not really understand the logic of option 1 though. First, why
are the input and output devices drop down lists shaded if I do not
select duplex? In other words, if I only want to loop the sound back
to the speaker, it does not seem that option 1 would work, as I
cannot select the input not input device. And in any case, if I have
already selected the interface I am going to use (my POD), what does
it mean to select input and output device? <br>
<br>
As for the drivers. In fact I have not installed any driver myself.
The POD gets recognized out of the box in pulse (doesn't it use ALSA
too?). The first question is: if the problem was the driver, the
device should not get recognized in the interface drop down list,
right? But it is. Also, if I have a look at /proc/asound/cards, I
get<br>
<br>
$ cat /proc/asound/cards<br>
<br>
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel<br>
HDA Intel at 0xfcaf4000 irq 46<br>
1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia<br>
HDA NVidia at 0xfeafc000 irq 17<br>
2 [PODHD300 ]: line6usb - POD HD300<br>
Line6 POD HD300 at USB 8-2:1.0<br>
<br>
As you can see, device number 2 is my POD, and strangely it says
line6usb (which is the name of the device driver in sourceforge).
Does this mean that the driver is there and that ALSA support the
device?<br>

<p>Option 2. The POD appears only in the ALSA tab of the
Connection window.<br>

<div>The ALSA tab in QJackCtl shows MIDI devices: the MIDI
component of the POD 300 is probably class-compliant
(meaning, no special driver required for that part).. <br>
</div>

<br>
Again, I do not understand the logic here. I am sorry, I am very new
to these things. If the ALSA tab shows the MIDI devices, what does
the MIDI tab show? Also, should my POD be listed in the Audio tab
(if it was recognized properly)?<br>
<br>
Thanks again<br>
