I think I spoke too soon if I thought alsa-oss would be the silver bullet for Gtick + Jack compatibility: I installed the alsa-oss package, but even after a reboot, nothing has changed; Gtick still gives me the "Couldn't start metronome. Please check if specified sound device and sample file are accessible" error if I try to start it ticking after Jack is running. Looking at the Gtick FAQs, http://www.antcom.de/gtick/ , I saw that I should check my /dev folder to "Make sure /dev/dsp* (e.g. /dev/dsp0) exists and GTick is configured to use it." What I have in /dev are "dsp" and "dsp1," and Gtick was configured (in its Edit-->Preferences) to use /dev/dsp. So just to see what would happen, I reconfigured Gtick to use /dev/dsp1. That had the effect of Gtick *not* throwing up the above error message when I click "Start" to make it begin ticking, but it also caused there to be no ticking sound whether Jack is running or not. Also, regardless of whether I have Gtick using /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp1, neither Gtick nor any OSS-type entry shows up in the Connections window in Jack. Do I need to configure the alsa-oss package somehow, or configure Jack to incorporate or recognize it? --Ray -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
