I just removed pulse audio but I am getting the same errors. When I try to use jackd as the server path I get this error. 18:53:06.576 killall jackd jackd: no process killed 18:53:06.989 Post-shutdown script terminated with exit status=256. 18:53:08.643 Could not connect to JACK server as client. - Overall operation failed. - Unable to connect to server. Please check the messages window for more info. With all the other server paths I get this error. 18:54:03.126 JACK is starting... 18:54:03.127 jackstart -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p512 -n3 -S -i1 18:54:03.133 Could not start JACK. Sorry. 18:54:04.932 JACK was stopped with exit status=255. 18:54:04.933 Post-shutdown script... 18:54:04.934 killall jackd jackd: no process killed 18:54:05.387 Post-shutdown script terminated with exit status=256. Is there a beginner how-to for jack that explains what all this stuff is and how to set it up? I can't seem to find one which I can understand.
