Dear all,

Anybody any clue what the following JACK message means?

"ports used in attemped connection are not of the same data type"

since JACK has only 2 data types at present, it implies that you were
trying to connect audio&  MIDI ports.

Hello Paul,

That is the point, I wasn't doing that deliberately. This message appears with practically every audio connection I try to make. And I'm using QjackCtl which doesn't allow for making that kind of connections afaik. But at least I know what it means, thanks (pretty straighttforward though, should've figured it out myself). And indeed, easy to reproduce on the command line:

jack_connect system:capture_1 yoshimi:midi\ in

Results in a "ports used in attemped connection are not of the same data type" message (with a little typo). Now my question remains why it appears.

I have 2 USB audio devices - one a USB sound card, the other a MIDI connection. Sometimes JACKDMP 1.9.2 insists on trying to use the MIDI device as an audio OUT port.

I don't know why. Usually goes away if I leave the MIDI connection unplugged when I start the computer up, or simply tell QJackCtl to use the appropriate hardware-numbered port. But it could be related to the fact that sometimes the built-in Intel audio chip appears, and sometimes it doesn't!
