[LAU] Jack Crashing

[Steven Tonge]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with Jack on a Dell D420 laptop. Sound is configured 
and plays fine but when I start jack I get regular xruns and then it 
crashes after about 30 seconds. If I start and audio app, I can see it 
appear in the connections, but no sound plays and then when jackd goes 
down, it complains about a broken pipe. I'm totally stumped. Its not a 
problem with the frames/period as I've tried all different combos (up to 
1024 frames/period with 8 periods per buffer) All that is displayed in

Any ideas?
