Well, I'm always trying to get midi audio recording working, or at least
just one of these :) ; well, I'm trying very hard but .... nothing's
working ; I'm trying since a long time but .....
I have a P4 computer and mandrake 9.2 with a low latency kernel (
2.4.22-21mm.2mdk).
Well alsa is running and when I launch alsaconf, it says that my sound
card is "intel 8x0 Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller"
(in fact, sound is integrated in the motherboard (an Asus P4S8X-X), and
the motherboard doc says that the chip is an ADI AD 1980 6-channel audio
codec) ; in an another place, I've also seen SiS 7012...... Alsaconf
don't perform the last thing, playing a song 'cause something is missing :
Loading driver...
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 568: rcalsasound: command not found
Setting default volumes...
===============================================================================
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, please use alsamixer or gamix.
Have a lot of fun!
So I'm trying to launch jack and, as root, I type #jackd -d alsa -r
44100 and here is what I get :

And I'm obliged to do a Ctrl C to stop the process and Iget the mess :
jack main caught signal 2
When switching verbose option for starting jack, jackd -vd alsa -r
44100, I get also thiese lines :

Well if someone have any idea, it would be nice to get this working ; I
really need to make music with linux, I don't want to be obliged to run
my atari falcon with cubase audio until the end of time !!! But, really,
I don't know what to do....
cordialement,
