Hello,
I have a Zoom H4n recorder and would like to use it as an interface on a
laptop with Ubuntu 10.04.. I've succeeded in using it to record and to
play audio independently via jack but not together in duplex mode.
I've read on the web that people have used the H4n with full duplex. Can
anyone suggest what might be wrong with my set up?
No problems using the built-in sound card of the laptop in duplex mode
with jack.
I'll paste below the verbose messages from qjackctl.
Cheers,
Iain
