Also versions of Rosegarden, QJackCtl and Jack would be useful, you can get these at the command line: rpm -q jack-audio-connection-kit qjackctl rosegarden4 It might be that not being in realtime mode is causing crashes, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JACK_Audio_Connection_Kit#Running_Jack_in_Realtime_mode or it might just be a bug in your version of Rosegarden. > > Here's the output from QJackCtl, in case it's relevant: > Yes, this bit shows it trying to get control of the sound card (hw0) and failing. > creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit > > control device hw:0 > > ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for playback.

In QJackCtl settings if you click the '>' button next to settings does it show different audio devices? -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk _______________________________________________ music mailing list music@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/music
