Here a few questions: What are your settings in the system setup (where you can select standard devices for playback of sound, videos etc)?

Well, I guess if I don't even get an mp3 file to play, I shouldn't start with any recording or playback software delivered with ubuntu studio... > So how do you hook your midi keyboard into Hexter? Not at all - because I do not own a midi keyboard till now. I only want to record my bass guitar. And, btw, I don't get any signal on the inputs as well shown in envy > At kernel level, you'll find Alsa, and your ice1712 module is inserted > there. $ lsmod | grep 1712 snd_ice1712 74336 2 snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx 5888 1 snd_ice1712 snd_ak4xxx_adda 10880 2 snd_ice1712,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx snd_cs8427 11904 1 snd_ice1712 snd_ac97_codec 123992 1 snd_ice1712 snd_pcm 93320 4 snd_ice1712,snd_ac97_codec,snd_usb_audio,snd_pcm_oss snd_i2c 7936 2 snd_ice1712,snd_cs8427 snd_mpu401_uart 11392 1 snd_ice1712 snd 71880 26 snd_rtctimer,snd_ice1712,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_cs8427,snd_ac97_codec,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,snd_pcm_oss,snd_hwdep,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_i2c,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device So I guess this sould work?!? > But a level above that is the mighty Jack, a powerful 'Hub' that enables > you > have several apps, or 'clients' working together at the same time.

If I don't get any output right now, I won be successful with jack in any way, or? That's why I believe we first have to get sound output working at all and then go to jack - or am I wrong? > p.s.

Well, I beginn to get crazy a little bit now. But perhaps we find the cause? I really hope so. Regards, Dennis -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
