I don't know if your index lines have any impact to something else, but for the order after startup, the slot line should be all you need. > Now when I record ( I have running Jackd already ) my desktop with > Qt-recordMyDesktop I can select record device in it: system:capture_1 > ( there are no other capture devices out there ).

Please quote the command line you're using or $ cat .jackdrc to show what settings QjackCtl used. Regards, Ralf PS: For audio related questions consider to join the Arch Audio discuss mailing list [1] and/or the Linux audio user mailing list [2]. For Arch package related questions consider to use the Arch General mailing list [3]. In my experiences those lists fit better to the issue you're experiencing, even while the ALSA list should be ok too.
