[LAU] Starting qjackctl with pulse

I'm trying to get pulse and jack to be nice to each other. Running ubuntu 16.10 with cinnamon desktop. I have a pretty simple system. The result of "aplay -l" shows that my main card being used is: card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Of course, since I'm running pulse, aplay -L changes this to: pulse PulseAudio Sound Server So, now I *think* I know my default routing. It's just pulse sending stuff to hw:1,0. Now, of course, pulse doesn't tell me this. It says I'm using "Analog Stereo Output (unplugged)" from the PulseAudio Volume Control configuration menu. Starting up qjackctl I go to settings. There is no pulse driver, so I select (I think incorrectly!) the alsa driver and HW:PCH,1 and start jack. It appears that it's started and running. Back to the terminal and try to play a file using aplay. Hmmm ... no output! Back to pulse volume ctl. Input Devices shows a jack port. But, no output. I really don't understand this at all. Help. Please. -- **** Listen to my FREE CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca
