Still looking for jack. I think once you set Ardour to
jackd it
starts that way next time. Looking at 4.6.0 (old now that 4.7 is
realeased) there is no way to change the audio back end at startup...
but the session can not be loaded without the audio back end. So to
change to ALSA means start with jackd running then go to Window
->Audio/midi setup, change the backend to ALSA from there.
Ardour failed to create new sessions with ALSA, at no time I tried to
open an existing session.
1.
$ ardour4
bind txt domain [gtk2_ardour4] to /usr/share/ardour4/locale
Ardour4.7.0 (built using 4.7 and GCC version 5.3.0)
[snip]
2.
New Session
3.
Session name: test_session
Advanced options: untouched defaults
[x] Create master bus 2 channels
[x] Automatically connect to physical inputs
[ ] Use only 1 channels
[x] Automatically connect outputs
[x] ...to master bus
[ ] ...to physical outputs
[ ] Use only 0 channels
3.
After "Open"
Audio System: select ALSA, was JACK
4.
'Start' and/or 'OK' results in "Failed to open audio device"
The audio device is unused, no web browser, no jackd or anything else
that could use the device is running.
