Here's what I would do.. It may be slightly different in your system as I am still running suse 11.2 (evergreen) with RD 1.7.
1. Close Rivendell. Air audio from an alternate source. 2. If you want to remove jack altogether, go to yast/software management and remove it from there. If you want it to not start at boot, go to yast/system services (runlevel). In expert mode, make sure that all the runlevels are unchecked for jack. It might be called qjackctl or jackd or something like that.. You can also go to control center/startup applications and make sure jack isn't listed or checked.. 3. Run rdalsaconfig as root in terminal like this.. su root it will ask you for your root password. Enter it. The prompt should change color (usually red). Now type rdalsaconfig When rdalsaconfig comes up. Move your desired soundcard (maudio delta 44) to the bottom box and close rdalsaconfig. Leave the terminal open. 4. Stop Rivendell daemons as root in terminal like this.. /etc/init.d/rivendell stop 5. Open RDAdmin. It will now look directly at ALSA for sound. 6. Go to Manage Hosts. Choose your host. Click on RDAirplay. Card 0 Port 0 is the main output of your selected soundcard (the soundcard you put in the bottom box of rdalsaconfig). In your case, Card 0 Port 0 is outputs 1 and 2 on your delta 44 card. 7. While still editing your host, click on RDLibrary. Card 0 Port 1 is the second output of your selected soundcard (the soundcard you put in the bottom box of rdalsaconfig). In your case, Card 0 Port 1 is outputs 3 and 4 on your delta 44 card. With that being said, on the OUTPUT choose card 0 port 1. *Note - The INPUT side should still say Card 0 Port 0. This is input 1 and 2 on the delta 44. 8. Open RDAirplay and you should be good to go.. Now.. There is a common issue that shows up here.. By default, the second output of the delta 44 is muted by ALSA. You need to change this by doing the following.. As root in terminal, run alsamixer. While in alsamixer, make sure that you are changing settings for the maudio delta 44 card ALSA driver, not pulseaudio! In alsamixer, DAC 0 and DAC 1 are outputs 1 and 2 on the delta 44. DAC 2 and DAC 3 are ouputs 3 and 4 on the delta 44. Raise the levels to your liking and viola! Your good to go!

Our system here is straight-up broadcasting so from the sounds of it, stick with ALSA and ditch Jack? So the question I would have then is, how do you get rid of Jack? And once JACK is gone, how does ALSA get priority? -Terry On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 1:05 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Terry, I see you're running with Ubuntu. Unless you have a specific need for Pulseaudio (there's some app you're using on a regular basis that needs to do audio through Pulse) then my suggestion is to disable it. Unfortunately with Ubuntu there's no way to easily remove Pulse (I've tried many times - it is possible but not easy). But it can be fairly easily turned off. Then you'll have straight ALSA, unless you use Jack - in which case you'll have Jack talking to ALSA. To turn Pulseaudio off, there are instructions in the Wiki at http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Ubuntu_-_No_sound/sound_card_in_Rivendell_after_setup See those instructions, they generally work fairly well. As has been mentioned already on this list, if you're setting up a straight broadcast machine that isn't doing anything else, your best bet is straight ALSA, you'll get the least amount of latency and fewer things to troubleshoot if something doesn't work properly. On the other hand if you want to run other audio applications then you'll likely need Jack. > > This is a follow-up question from yesterday (Thanks Wayne for all of your > help!) > > When you get a chance could anyone please assist me in understanding JACK, > Pulse Audio and ALSA?
