So now aplay & co. work fine, but jackd still doesn't. It says: Failed to acquire device name : Audio0 error : Invalid argument Audio device hw:0,0 cannot be acquired... Jack: ~JackDriver Cannot initialize driver This is for my builtin hda-intel card, but the end-result it more or less the same for hw:1,0, which is my external USB soundcard. All of this used to work flawlessly before the upgrade and the kernel/drivers are the same. Any ideas?
