Hi Peter

I have no idea :S.

If you are using KDE, aRts might be the cause.

Do an experiment:

See number 12 of the FAQs, http://www.64studio.com/faq_user and make
your sound card hw:1 and maybe an integrated soundcard hw:0 and set
input and output devices for qjackctl, resp. the jackd alsa command to hw:1.

Will it than say, that hw:1 is already in use?

Cheers,
Ralf

PS: To one of the other threads. If we will go to Cuba with a laptop and
we plan to come back without it, we should have a Linux running on it ;D.

You have to thank Olson, the origin Ubuntu Studio founder for this
trick. I never was a fan of Mark Shuttleworth and I hop you read the
beginning of Olson's thread Why I am going back to Debian
<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=307243>.

Also interesting http://www.linux-studio.org/news.php?extend.3, I also
just read the beginning of this interview.

Cinelerra seems to be back in the backports, my repository for Cinelerra
has been Harley's repository.

All this makes me say a second time for today; Thank you 64 Studio
people for your distro .

If Olson's trick won't work, please check out what will happen, if you
make your soundcard hw:1, like the way, I wrote about before I give you
the link to Olson's trick.

It would be better if anybody has a solution to solve the problem,
instead of doing a trick.
