[Bug 1228727] Re: qjackctl does not show USB soundcard

[zasran]

Didn't occur to me to try it before, yes, the little '' buttons the the
right of interface, input and output dropdowns shows different values,
including hw:2.

It's pretty confusing, the tooltips don't help much either, they seem to
say the same thing:

Interface dropdown tooltip: 'The PCM device name to use'
Interface '' tooltip: 'Select PCM device name'

Input device dropdown tooltip: 'Alternate input device for capture'
Input device '' tooltip: 'Select input device for capture'

Output device dropdown tooltip: 'Alternate output device for playback'
Output device '' tooltip: 'Select output device for playback'

The values for all dropdown menus are:
  - (default)
  - /dev/dsp
  - /dev/audio
  - plughw:0
  - hw:0

The values for all '' menus:
  - hw:0 HD-Audio Generic
  - hw:1 HDA ATI SB
  - hw:1,0 ALC892 Analog
  - hw:2 BR-80(AUDIO)
  - hw:2,0 USB Audio
  - (default)

Selecting Interface hw:2 BR-80(AUDIO) works, qjackctl starts jackd
successfully and both recording and playback work (tested using
ardour2).

Guess it's less of a bug than I originally thought but it would be great
if it was explained what the two selectors (dropdown and '' button) are
and why they have different values. Maybe it would be possible to
consolidate the two into one selection menu?

Great, It seems to me I was talking to you on irc before that. I am sorry 
I didn't twig to what you were missing.

You are of course free to:
a) talk to the upstream author.
b) send him a patch.

From some of his comments on LAU I would suggest that his non-computer 
life has gotten much more complex/interesting and coding is therefore 
getting less time.

I shall mark this bug as invalid then. It does work as intended... even if 
the intended way is somewhat confusing.


** Changed in: qjackctl (Ubuntu)
   Status: New = Invalid
