Hi Jigme, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! :) Installing pulseaudio disables smplayer (no audio) -- I switched to Kaffeine, which seems to work. Now ZynAddSubFX (Softsynth) does not show up with QJackCTL. Starting Zyn with -a gives me the audio of the Synth back... but with BIG distortions (I mailed to the Zyn mailing list for that). Setting the volume via pactl is a pain - and reaching the volume knobs of my speakers (behind my monitor...) are also a pain. Why oh why seems audio and Linux a problem in so many situations? ;) I will search further...and if I will find anything useful I post it here... Cheers, Meino
