Well, it's quite straightforward to use jackd and no particular trick is needed. Install jackd2 and its gui qjackctl and alsa-utils. Get rid or stop PulseAudio and start qjackctl, see what happens and report (qjackctl has a nice message log window) Keep in mind that often no sound means that alsamixer volumes are muted or at 0 level which seems to be the default. > My understanding of Jack (and please correct me if I'm wrong), is that > it's like being able to patchcord together all sorts of software > sound processor boxes, in whatever configuration I want.

Non compliant apps can also be routed with little tweaking (eg. flashplayer, skype) -- « Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero pulsanda tellus » -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
