I installed Jack from Planet-CCRMA. I have a Soundblaster Live with RH 9.0. However, Jack doesn't seem to start completely. I understand that I should be able to basically start Jack using jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 or jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw -r 44100 However, it stops at jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 loading driver .. creating alsa driver ... hw:0|1024|2|48000|swmon|rt I think it should set up channels, etc. Jack-dependent apps complain that Jack isn't working. Several times, it has done this correctly, but I can't understand why it worked then but doesn't now. As far as I can see, the ALSA drivers are loaded and working. I'm fairly new to ALSA, so I can't provide much more information than this. Could anyone offer any advice? -- Rohan Parkes <rparkes@xxxxxxxxx>
