Hi, I have a brand new Dell D820 here which has worked very well, except for jackd. But: I just found a way to get jackd running! (Thanks Paul) Use the -S switch for jackd's alsa driver to force the sound card to use 16 bits instead of 32 bits. For example: jackd -R -P80 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p256 -n2 -S The "fix" is way far from optimal because of all the lost percision, but as I'm going to use my multiface anyway (as soon as I get the interface card) for serious work, I don't care.
