New subject: clicking noise in all audio programswith new linux user

18 Sep 2008

I didn't know that audacity worked with jack.  
Have you tried to use the oss drivers instead of the alsa ones.
Should be an option for this if you're using qjackctl.
Do you get constant xruns when running jack?
Perhaps you can post the ouput of jack when you run it and run a sound
application that causes clicking.

Also, make sure you hit reply-to-all when replying to the list.  ^_^

  Thanks for the response.  how do you kill an artsd
process?  the
 clicking when happens when i open jack, sound recorder, ardour, or
 audacity.  it's an irregular fast tick/clicking noise that changes
 speed slightly when i change the latency rate.  it doesn't happen when
 i open a regular player like rythmbox or media player.  It does happen
 when i open Hydrogen (drum sequencer).  So it only happens with music
 creation/editing programs and Jack.

         Does the clicking happen with an audio program that doesn't take input?
         i.e. zynaddsubfx.  
         Also, make sure you kill any artsd process.  Does the clicking happen
         when using alsa by itself.  i.e. using xmms to play audio, without jack
         running?

 I am a new ubuntu user who is trying to optimize my system to run
 ardour and audacity.  It's a dell d630 laptop.  I have installed both
 programs and Jack, but there is a constant clicking noise whenever i
 open any audio program including jack.  I think it has something to do
 with the latency, but i've tried all settings and the clicking
 persists.  I do not have programming experience.  Is there any advice
 you can give on how to set up my system.

           Thanks.
