Hi Paul, 

Thanks for your input. That clears one thing up for me.
Since I’m not using qjackctl, only one client that starts jackd, it makes sense that it;’s using default values.
On my previous system it did always seem to use the ‘correct’ settings. So do you have any idea what other place jackd might me getting its settings from? The client is the same..

cheers,
Fokke

Hi all,

After migrating to a freshly installed system, it seems jackd has decided not to honor my settings in $HOME/.jackdrc anymore.

jackd itself never uses jackdrc.

it is used by either:

   1) a control client (e.g. qjackctl)
   2) a normal client that connects to JACK with no server running and the NoStartServer option not set

i.e. it saves the "last used settings" so that they can be re-used in contexts where there are no settings given.
