As such I see it entirely in their ball park to fix it. And then if bitwig is switched to ALSA (to be able to work with MIDI), it will not be able to open the audio device as long as jackd runs. There is a problem and it is certainly not on jack's part, considering the number of applications that runs with it. But I'm willing to try what they suggest although indeed it is not clear. The goal would be to have bitwig and Ardour running together, with MIDI and sound enabled in bitwig (which supports jack transport BTW). A problem prevents bitwig from using/receiving MIDI data when it runs configured for jackd. It has sound but no MIDI. When it runs configured for ALSA, it has MIDI but no sound.... until jackd is terminated. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
