Thanks to some help on IRC #lab i can now start jack in normal mode. when doing so i get these messages http://pastebin.com/854673 However when i try to start jack in realtime mode (priority 70) it fails to start and returns these errors;http://pastebin.com/854674 I have 64 studio installed so realtime should be OK, I have however run alsa in module-assistant in a effort to fix some sound issues that i was having (I was unable to get sound in firefox) so i wonder if this may have broken my realtime module? How am I able to get back the default sound setup from the 64studio CD? Thanks Sam my system spec; http://hp-nx6325.pbwiki.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent via Slackmail, web mail from Psand.net.
