I just prefer to use the highest quality sample rate it supports.
Removes one resampling step from the audio processing chain. But, really
- how much music is distributed on CD these days, vs electronic download?
Hey, I have some success to report !!!!
I have QJackCtl 0.3.9.
I record regularly (and play back) using JACKD,
Audacity and a UCA202. I'm
using Debian Sid WITHOUT PULSEAUDIO or an RT kernel.
I use QJackCTL to start JACK with these settings:
Server prefix: "/usr/bin/jackd -S --realtime
Realtime box: checked
Priority: DEFAULT
Frames/period: 1024
Sample Rate: 48000
Periods/buffer: 3
Dither: None
Audio: Duplex
Input device: hw:1
Output device: hw:1
Channels I/O: 2 (for both)
Latency I/O: Default (for both)
Okay, this is a start. I tried it and it sort of works. Problem is
that on playback I get motorboat sound. Not what we want. I also get a
bunch of dbus errors while jack is trying to start.
So, decided to give it one last try :)
I have pulse running, etc. From a command line:
pasuspender -- jackd -d alsa -d hw:1
jackdmp 1.9.8

Start up audacity ... and it works! Using audacity setting Overdub On
I get the background playing out of the usb headphone jack. And
recording seems to be fine. Just spoke some <this is a test> stuff
into the mic, but that seems to work. I'll try my sax later.
I have no idea why the qjackctl is barfing. Versions? Settings in
Audacity:
Set your project rate to 48000Hz.
Does this make a difference? I have jack running now at 48000 and
audacity at 44100 and it sounds fine. So, some progress on a cold winter's day.
Wonderful.
Hurrah!
