Hello list,

I've come across a problem where the hardware latency numbers entered into
qjackctl setup window don't take effect. I wrote up the details here:

The workaround was to start jackd from command line and pass the -I and -O
options that way.

As qjackctl comes from Ubuntu, it tries to control jackdbus and not jackd. This can be changed in qjackctl settings, but probably will not help :) The real problem is probably (use ps x to check) that jackd is already running before you start qjackctl which means qjackctl can not control jackd. Why might this happen? Normally it is because you have started an application that requires jack and that process has started jack for you with whatever it thought was good parameters. The cure is to always start qjackctl and use it to start jackdbus before running anything that uses jack as soon as you login.

To test this, logout, login, start qjackctl, use it to start jack. You can use qjackctl's "Status" window to see what parameters are current.
