I figure it's a >problem somewhere in the following (backwards) chain: I get this as well (DA converter -> RME DIGI9632-PAD SPDIF out -> ALSA -> JACK) But it only happens the first time I start Jack, after that it doesn't do it anymore _unless_ I change which device on the card is being used by JACK. My guess is that devices on sound cards have a default sample rate, bit rate or some other type of setting and when something accesses the device and changes one of those settings, it results in that pop sound. -Reuben -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
