If it starts, great, try to get some sound out of it. For instance, run jack_simple_client and it should connect and output a test tone. Stop it all, go to setup and play around with combinations of the following settings: Interface. (You may have more than one card, or you may choose between default and the actual card.) Sample rate. (Try 44100 and 48000.) Frames per period. (For rivendell, I tend to choose on the larger side. For multitrack recording, I tend to aim at the low end.) Periods per buffer. (Try at least 2 and 3. Some cards will be happy with either, some don't like one of them.) Once I get this far, I like to mess a bit with a decently behaved multitrack recorder like ardour or qtractor or traverso if your distro still has it in the repos. After you are good with jack and one of these, bring rivendell into the mix. Go to rdadmin->manage hosts->edit your host->jack settings: X Start jack Server Jack Server Name: Riv1 Jack Command Line: /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:1 -r48000 -p4096 -n3 breaking that command line down for you: -dalsa means use the alsa sound system -dhw:1 means use sound card 1 -r48000 means use 48000 and not 44100 -p4096 is the frames per period setting (I told you I went large for riv) -n3 is the periods per buffer setting. (I tend to go 3 with onboard sound and USB sound.) Here is another example: /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:CODEC -r48000 -p4096 -n3 The interesting bit here is: -dhw:CODEC - instead of calling the interface by number, call it by name. Find the name with: aplay -l I hope this helps get you started. all the best, drew > I have searched around but have not found one that makes sense to an old > man like me. > > On Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 10:58 PM, drew Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Frank, >> >> jack is not that bad once you get to know him. >> >> I suggest getting him working without rivendell in the mix and then >> either adding in rivendell or starting over once you have a working >> knowledge of jack. >> >> "Yes Jack is still my jack, but I still need a Jill" >> http://packet-in.org/repo/RPM09/_final_mixes/Jack_and_jill.ogg >> >> all the best, >> >> drew >> >> >> On Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 10:44 PM, Frank White < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Adding the rate to the asound does not work.
