Hi, I am having some problems making my kanotix a DAW. Help? Below are some specifications. thanks, ref Hardware: P4 3.6 HT, 1G Ram, M-audio Delta 66. It is a Dell computer, a GX280. Problems: 1- Kmenu->Control Center->Sound & Multimedia->Sound System There is a jack option there, but, when it is started it, displays a window: "Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: Couldn´t connect to jackd The sound server will continue using the null output device" Alsa starts ok. Autodetect is ok too. 2-Making a /home/ref/jack-audio-connection-kit and ./configure builds with no alsa support and with oss support. (with alsa loaded or oss turned loaded). 3-When Pd 0.38.4-extended is installed, the pd command issues: "pd: error while loading shared libraries: libjack0.80.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Even wit the oss jack installed (wich doen´t run). 4- There is no "alsa" or "alsasound" file to do the usual: ..path/alsa stop ..path/alsa start (commonly at /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa) There is, though, a /etc/init.d/alsa that accepts "unload, reload, resolve" commands. Are they a like? 5- While borwsing menus like Kmenu, we hear sound hickups. (thanks again) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
