HI This is the problems I am having trying to get away from Sonar and windoze. I have all the planetCCRMA stuff but cant actaully get any sound at all from my MOBO VIA-97 or my RME card. I can just get jack and Ardour started and working but untill I can here anything I'm stuck. Am I caught between OSS and Alsa alsa conf says its configured my cards. cheers Bob Christoph Eckert wrote: >>You can actually get jackd to work with dmix, you just have >>to use matching ALSA parameters (default or plug:dmix or >>something device, samplerate, buffersize etc) for jack and >>run in playback-only-mode >> >> > >That's exactly the reason for my question.
