Booted live KXStudio 14.04 DVD. Cadence started JACK,

uselessly at the onboard audio. I pointed it at my USB sound card with
the same settings I use normally. Started Zyn. It visibly made sound
(Zyn's indicator), but no sound came out. (I found nothing in Cadence
to connect Zyn to JACK. But then I don't know Cadence.) I ran KMixer
and audio volume was up for the USB card. So I said, Oh, well, guess
it doesn't work with Zyn. (Not the first time I've had problems with
Zyn and JACK, I much prefer Yoshimi.) So I close Zyn. After which
Cadence reports that JACK server is stopped. Restarting JACK or even
force restarting a JACK restart using Cadence gives me no audio
devices to pick from.
KXStudio isn't ready for this user yet, I guess.
I don't remember getting a bug report about this, unless this counts as one?
In any case, the Zyn in the kxstudio repos does not auto-connect to
system outputs.
This is so it can be safely used in a session manager environment.
The 14.04 ISO is a bit old now.
There has been some serious Cadence improvements and a new Zyn release
since then.
A new ISO will be released in a few days.
