[linux-audio-user] Multiple sound cards

short question: Is this also the case, if I have three cards 
but only one is used by jack?

I also get xruns with my USB card. It's the third card, 
because I have an AC 97 and an USB2MIDI device.

When I try to run jack, it works, but I get some (but not too 
much) xruns. Should I disable the AC 97 card?


 Thanks & best regards
