If so you need to unload the pulse alsa module for the Intel device, so that the system inputs and outputs appear when using the jack connection in qjackctl. I managed to get to the stage of everything looking good with jack connections, but didn't get incoming audio to the jack-source module. I suspect that problem may have been with the app I was using. meterbridge is very useful for checking connections with jack connect HTH -- -- Best wishes / 73 Richard Bown e-mail: richard at g8jvm.com Mail now hosted by SimplyMailSolutions Please avoid using old e-mail address of richard.bown at blueyonder.co.uk nil carborundum a illegitemis ################################################################################## Ham Call G8JVM .
