Is there a beginner how-to for jack that explains what all
this stuff is and how to set it up? I can't seem to find
one which I can understand.

I just installed Fedora 9 but I am having trouble
getting
JACK configured properly. The only way I can get jack
to
start without failing is by using the 'dummy' driver.
But
I cannot get sound out of the computer (even though
ardour
is working properly and playing) or any sound into the
computer. Is this 'dummy' driver an actual driver?
I had it woring excellent in Fedora 8 but in my absent
mindedness did not write down how it was configured. I
do
believe I was using alsa though. Do I need to set the
path to the driver, it just says 'jackd' now?
If someone could answer my questions or at least point
me
to a resource I would be very thankful.
Greg.
Hi Greg. You mention both Fedora 8, and Fedora 9, and
both of those have
pulseaudio soundserver installed as default. I've read
that pulseaudio has a
problem working with Jack.
For myself, my sounds were working fine on Fedora
versions pre F8, but when
pulseaudio entered the equation with F8, I lost all
sounds with my Audigy2
soundblaster card. I admit that I don't like new stuff
being thrust upon me,
so disabled pulseaudio by removing the package
"alsa-plugins-pulseaudio" (without the double quotes),
and the sounds came
back.
Now my Audigy2 soundblaster card (emu10k1 driver) allows
me to run audio apps
directly through Alsa, and also run Jack at the same
time. Most sound cards
don't though, and if you are running an audio app
through Alsa, and it's
working, then try to start Jack, Jack will complain.
Likewise if you are
using a Jack app, and that is working ok, and try to
also start an app that
uses Alsa directly, that will fail also.
Just a few comments, and observations.
Nigel.
