watchdog: timeout - killing jackd

You're device is likely configured incorrectly, so that JACK never
actually gets woken up by the device, times out and deliberately
kills itself.
You need to use alsamixer or an equivalent to select the correct
capture source on the device. This was a relatively common issue
with Intel HDA chipsets a few years ago - I haven't been hearing
about it as much recently.
Thanks a lot Paul for the pointer
Short story: jackd is running again in duplex mode. Case solved.
Nonetheless:
If no capture source is selected in alsamixer, why does capture only
mode work in jackd without problems and times out as soon as duplex
mode is selected? Strange.
Furthermore:
I tried to tune the settings in alsamixer before bothering the list.
For weeks I tried all permutations in alsamixer and qjackctl without
success. Today, after your response, I opened alsamixer again, two
devices (Capture and Capture1) have been in Capture mode. I switched
off both, switched only Capture into capture mode and jackd started
in duplexmode without problems. Out of curiosity I tried to recreate
the old behavior - no chance, it's not longer possible. Even if I
switch on / off capture mode for both Capture devices and chose
different hardware interfaces in qjackctl (hw:0 = HDA Intel PCA,
hw:0.0 = VT2020 analog) jackd starts trouble-free for all
combinations. I do not really know the culprit. Alsa and jackd are
still black boxes to me.
Again, thanks a lot
