Hi once again all, I have installed rezound (succesfully I hope! ). But it seems to hang if I try to use jaskd. Here's what happens: I fire up an xterm and type: jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 Then I see this: jackd 0.80.0 ---notices--- jack compiled with System V SHM support loading driver .. hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|4800|nomon|swmeter|rt open starting engine Then I fire up another xterm and type: rezound the second I do that in the first xterm (jackd's) I see this: alsa_pcm:xrun of at least 8.834msecs Then (or at the same time) a dialog box pops up on the screen: Choose port for output Chose 1 I choose: alsa_pcm:playback.1 and I click on ok (green check mark) Then everything stops when I get tired of waiting and ^c the rezound window, this pops up in the jackd term: subgraph starting at rezound timed out (subgraph_with_fd=11, status = 1086326156, state = Triggered) subgraph starting at rezound timed out (subgraph_with_fd = 11, status = 1088326156, state = Triggered) I am using the latest rezound :0.8.3beta and jack is 0.80.0 alsa is version 9.rc2 sblive 5.1 850mHz stick of Celery 256mBram lfs-4.0 distro Hope this is enough info =) thanks again for al the help guys james -- airbrush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
