Another possibility I almost called attention to earlier is this little bit of text when Jack starts up: (It was in the initial email) <SNIP> 08:10:43.247 /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p64 -n2 08:10:43.252 JACK was started with PID=14453 (0x3875). cannot write to jackstart sync pipe 4 (Bad file descriptor) jackd: wait for startup process exit failed jackd 0.98.1 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. <SNIP> What is a 'jackstart sync pipe 4'? Could this error be part of the problem? I have to boot back to FC2 to see if it's there, but from memory I thought maybe it wasn't... - Mark
