Hi all, I haven't posted here for some time now. I've been busy at work, but finally, I have a linux box together that works again... It's a long story. Still, I have a problem. When I started jack on the first lone soundcard, it worked fine. However, I've added a second card, and now I'm having problems starting jack on either of them. The machine is an Athlon64 3200 on an nForce4 board. I'm running an up-to-date Planet CCRMA on Fedora Core 6. The first soundcard (that did work in this machine) is an RME DIGI9636, and the second is an RME 96/8 PAD. Both cards are second-hand, but I have seen each of them working before - the DIGI9636 was used previously with FC3 a year ago, and the 96/8 PAD was working in a Windows machine earlier today. I'm using qjackctl. Here is an excerpt of the messages as I attempt to start jack on the DIGI9636: ***** 04:01:22.393 JACK is starting... 04:01:22.393 jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -D -Chw:0,0 -Phw:0,0 -i2 -o2 04:01:22.395 JACK was started with PID=3488 (0xda0). jackd 0.103.0 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver ..

Am I doing something obviously/stupidly wrong? Please let me know what other information might help. Thanks, Michael -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
