Thank you Kyle; I appreciate your busy schedule. First, I followed your instructions below (unchecking the dbus box, etc.) with the same result as before; no Xruns, just can't connect.
Secondly, I'm thinking I should step back and look at the basics of this setup and sort out some issues. (a) I installed a pre-configured version of centos 6 which included the music playout software I need to use. System has since upgraded to 6.7 final. Works well as it sits, but need jack to access output processing. (b) This distro also provided audio programs called "Audacity", "Rhythmbox Music Player", a cd burner, a movie player and "QjackCtl". (c) The box I installed to has an internal (NVidia) audio chip and a pci M-audio Delta 66 soundcard. The alsa service sees both cards but I only config the music playout program to use the Delta 66 (via alsa I presume). So far so good; works fine. (d) Then I notice the Delta 66 card doesn't show up in any of the other audio options. In fact, the system only reports one card (the internal NVidia), of course, as the default. Ah hah! Believe me, I'd disable it if I could. Mobo is Asus M4N68T-V2 and I can't find the sound chip in the bios anywhere. (e) My research, reveals pulseaudio likes to butt in and pre-empt alsa at times. I was able to adjust the conf file to prevent pulse from autospawning, but can't kill the service in the terminal. The reply is "no such service" so I'm not understanding the correct commands. I've also been told for Jack to function, it must be started first, and it must have the same owners/users as caed and music library. So for starters, I'm thinking I need to come up with a better Delta66 soundcard driver for linux. (could to hard to find with the manufacturer dropping support) Would that seem like a good starting place? -steve On 8/10/2015 11:23 PM, Kyle Kneitinger wrote: > Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet, busy week! > > If icecast would work for you, that seems like a nice tutorial! > > If you are sticking with your solution using jack, the dbus thing I > mentioned earlier isn't a big deal, it just makes for little smoother setup. > > Turn off that Dbus option in qjackctl, set your sample rate (44100 is a > good default), Frames/Period & Periods/Buffer(start high, work lower once > youve got a functioning setup), > > Then hit the start button on the main qjackctl window.
