I'm cross-posting this to the alsa-user list, as it seems to be an ALSA issue.

(Dang, my head hurts... ;-) ) I found an entry for a .asoundrc file at this link: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php3?company=Generic&card=Generic&chip=Generic&module=Generic#virmulti So, I tried setting it up this way. I'm using exactly the script shown at the link above. But it just ain't quite right. Here's what I got in the messages window of 'qjackctl' 20:14:59.233 JACK is starting... 20:14:59.233 /usr/local/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dttable -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -i4 -o4 20:14:59.240 JACK was started with PID=2278 (0x8e6). jackd 0.98.1 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details loading driver .. apparent rate = 48000 creating alsa driver ... ttable|ttable|1024|2|48000|4|4|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods ALSA: no playback configurations available (Invalid argument) ALSA: cannot configure capture channel cannot load driver module alsa 20:14:59.277 JACK was stopped successfully.
