Hi,
I have a brand new Dell D820 here which has worked very well, except for
jackd. But: I just found a way to get jackd running! (Thanks Paul)
Use the -S switch for jackd's alsa driver to force the sound card to use
16 bits instead of 32 bits.
For example:
jackd -R -P80 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p256 -n2 -S
The "fix" is way far from optimal because of all the lost percision, but
as I'm going to use my multiface anyway (as soon as I get the interface
card) for serious work, I don't care.
I believe that option only affects the precision of input and output
to the card.
If your card is 16-bit anyway, you haven't lost anything; it's just that
for whatever reason, jackd was unable to automatically select 16 bit
(which is what happens when I (rarely) run against my SB 128)).
