Jack outputs are the output ports on the iiwusynth. Think of them as 1/4" connectors. Physical ports are the inputs to your output power amp in your sound card. Think of them as your keyboard amp. If you use qjackconnect, you'll get a GUI that will make this more obvious. It will show you your sound card ports and your soft synth ports. iiwusynth hook up automatically to playback_1 & 2, so I get sound automatically. ZynAddSubFx does not. You must hook it up using qjc to get sound. (Or possibly at the command line.) > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-audio-user-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:linux-audio-user-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Levi > Burton > Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 6:01 AM > To: linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [linux-audio-user] jackd, zynaddsubfx and iiwusynth > > > Hello again, > > Thanks for your responses.
