That's at least got part of the problem out of the way and the qjackctl output is shorter this time, but I still can't get jack to accept connections. What I get now is: 20:30:39.141 Statistics reset. 20:30:39.369 Startup script... 20:30:39.370 killall artsd 20:30:39.429 MIDI connection graph change. 20:30:39.942 Startup script terminated successfully. 20:30:39.943 JACK is starting... 20:30:39.943 /usr/bin/jackd -R -t500 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p512 -n2 -S -i2 -o2 20:30:39.947 JACK was started with PID=22314 (0x572a). jackd 0.94.0 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 ... hw:0|hw:0|512|2|48000|2|2|nomon|swmeter|rt|16bit control device hw:0 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 512 frames, buffer = 2 periods 20:30:40.149 MIDI connection change. 20:30:42.159 Could not connect to JACK server as client. 20:30:49.727 Could not connect to JACK server as client. Just so you know, I did modprobe realtime any=1 if that makes any difference, because I don't know any better yet. What am I still doing wrong? Would the mysterious jackstart help me? I have read about this program but I couldn't find a copy with my installation of jack, not even after I went to jackit.sourceforge.net and rolled myself the official version, and therefore I have no idea if it is important or not, or whether just doing killall artsd ; jackd -d alsa -d whatnot is good enough. Would messing about with the jackd command line arguments help me? I am reluctant to do this because I don't know a lot about the architecture of my card.
