I don't know about ubuntu, but here on vanilla debian, jackdbus is quite a headache for me. Something (I haven't discovered what) is starting it up, and it connects to onboard hdmi, if I then start qjackctl it sees jack running so doesn't apply the setting I actually want, which is my KA6. It happens just infrequently enough for me to forget and wonder why everything is connected but I'm getting no sound :( -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
