I cannot get the jack control window to open. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice and no change. I have sound but would like to get Rosegarden running with Qsynth.
View 5 RepliesSo I've used Jack Control for sometime now to control my recording suite that I use (Ardour, Rakarak, and Hydrogen Drum Machine) recently however, when I start the Jack control, as soon as I connect input to output in the connections window, it's like it has internal feedback. The feedback crescendos, then cuts out. after that (let's say I have my Fender plugged into the sound card) if I strike a string there it comes out muddy distorted with an awful echo (some what like what echo would sound like on blown speakers). I have checked all the settings, everything is as it was before when it worked fine... dunno... is Lucid possessed?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm new to ubuntu but i do have a basic understanding of programming, but nothing too serious. The reason I am mentioning this is because I have a little project. Currently I use JACK to control the transport of all the aps i use to make music with ardour, hydrogen and rosegarden mainly. I also have an external midi drum machine that I sometimes hook up into the mix via midi in/out, my drum machine (yamaha ry to be exact can send and receive midi data. My question is can I use the transport controls on my external drum machine to control JACK's transport controls? If there is already am app that does something like that, excellent!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble getting the audio to work on this computer (ACER 5570-4765 with PCM Audigy ZS 2) running Ubuntu Studio 10.10. I can get JACK to run without errors but I am not sure if settings are correct. For now I would just like to listen to music using Audacious but I would eventually like to record guitar using Rakarrack (I have this installed but I am having zero luck with this as well).

How do I move the Window control buttons when the window is in full screen mode? I.e.: I know how to go into gconf-editor:
Code:
gconf-editor --> apps --> metacity --> general --> button layout = ":minimize,maximize,close"
(I've intentionally disabled the menu...)
What I want is my window controls to be on the right side of the window when the window is in full screen mode.
Also I've had an issue with the Unity dockbar glitching out. I can still click on the buttons (i.e. the logout button) but it displays like a nintendo game inserted crooked. Is there a way to 'restart' unity without log out/ log in?
Any one else experienced any glitches with unity auto hiding/showing?
I've got an Acer Aspire 5101 with Natty on it and everything works so far, but I can't start Muse. It says: "Muse failed to find a jack audio server". At the bottom it also says: "...if Jack was started check if it was started as the same user as Muse". This might be the issue. But how can I check this? BTW: Jackd has been installed and I am a Member of the Audio Group.
I am new to Ubuntu and don't know how to fix this. I got this Notebook for free, because my Brother wanted to dispose it as it didn't worked properly after he reinstalled xp. Only the dvd-drive is broken, the rest is in really good condition for such an old thing. After a lot of trial and error I could finally install Natty from USB.
To get to the point, when viewing a video in fullscreen, I notice that the initial VLC window remains open under the fullscreen video output. Sometimes the initial video window is under the fullscreen output causes a bit of screen tearing. How do I enable VLC that when in fullscreen mode, only it opens, to be together with the main interface instead of two windows running? Im not sure that im making sense but this does not happen in Windows. I want a similar function here in Ubuntu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded the motherboard/processor on my computer (as in quadrupled the processor and octupled the ram). The new board has a built in GPU (intel) and from searching the forums, I think this is part of the problem. Every time I boot up the computer, I need to open the Compiz icon and use it to reload the window manager before I see any title bars, borders, etc. 've tried the .bashrc hack (metacity --replace), but that doesn't do anything. In fact, whenever I open the terminal, I need to have two tabs open in order to use it, and when I close it all the borders go away again (even when I haven't done anything). Also, the onboard sound card (intel) doesn't work, but that's another task (I at least have a compatible card for that).
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy system boots, I login and am brought to my desktop. I click on the file system icon in the launcher to open a Nautilus window. The window opens, but is unresponsive (i.e., I can't move it, clicking on the icons does nothing, etc.). If I press the super key to get the dash and the press escape, the window becomes responsive again, just like normal.
If I open a folder in the window, the window becomes halfway unresponsive in that I can't move the window, but I can select more folders and toolbar icons. The top menu no longer appears at this point, and I can't access any of the system icons on the top right of the screen. Alt-F4 closes the window even if the close button doesn't work.As another example, suppose I open a Nautilus window and then a Chromium window. Both are immediately unresponsive. If I super-esc again, I can move the Chromium window around, and it seems to work normally. I can click on the Nautilus window, but it always stays greyed out. Even if I'm clicking on things in it, the Chromium window always has focus.
I had a similar experience to this with VLC and Chromium. After clicking around enough I eventually got it to the point where VLC apparently always had focus, but I couldn't access any of VLC's controls. Double clicking anywhere on the screen fullscreened the video, and that's all I could really do. Not even escape worked to bring it back.I can usually press super to get the dash and Alt-F2 to get a command prompt. Also Alt-Shift-T seems to usually work to bring up a working Terminal (at least one that accepts commands, even if I can't move the window).Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this? The behavior is highly unpredictable and extremely frustrating. I should note that key commands don't always work, even though they seem to in my examples. So I don't think it's just a mouse issue.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFor starters; although I am comfortable with Ubuntu, I don't really understand these midi and jack things,Ok,so I got a midi controller keyboard which I want to connect to my ubuntu pc to start making some music (play piano and possibly try to make some songs). I don't know if my sound card supports midi, but I got a Roland midi-to-usb converter. I connected it to my pc and downloaded Jack Control. When I fire up Jack control my normal music (using audacious) stops (don't know if this is normal). On the window that appears I hit start which results in an error, which I will paste below:

I realize that this may be a nit-picky complaint, but why did you guys move the window control buttons from the upper right corner to the upper left corner? Is there any way that I can move them back? They weren't this way in 9.10 or before, and they aren't this way on any of the computers that I work with at my job.

Why do this? Two reasons:
1) Many of us use JACK for low-latency audio work, but it's annoying to have to turn it on or off to have to allow regular Ubuntu applications to work. It's even more annoying that both can't normally work together -- either JACK or PulseAudio must take control of the sound control. This method allow JACK to do, and PulseAudio just routes to JACK.
2) JACK is kinda super awesome. By routing PulseAudio through it, your regular Ubuntu sound application suddenly get super powers. Pretty easy to do! (Well, we count our blessings in Linux...)
1. DYNAMICALLY You need the PulseAudio utilities and JACK sink:
Code:
sudo aptitude install pulseaudio-utils pulseaudio-module-jack And then run this to get PulseAudio connected to JACK: Code:pactl load-module module-jack-sink pactl load-module module-jack-source Now, go to Ubuntu's sound preferences, and you'll see "Jack sink" in the output tab. If you use JACK Control, you can create a script for the above and have it set up in "Execute script after Startup". Then, PulseAudio will automatically load the JACK sink when you start JACK.
2. BY DEFAULT Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa, and add these lines:
Code:load-module module-jack-source load-module module-jack-sink You can test it without rebooting by restarting PulseAudio. In Ubuntu, PulseAudio is started in the user session, not as a system daemon. To restart it:
Code:
pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio --start
I can not get sound to exit from my headphone jack, whenever I plug it in, no sounds come out. Notebook model is Acer 3820TG. By the way, I've tried adding the line for HDA Intel with udo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

JACK will not run ( eg. the server just won't go! ) When running Rosegarden I can not access the Qsynth/Fluidsynth.In the Rosegarden "manage MIDI devices" menu it now shows ONLY one "General Midi Device" -thats all, and I do not know where to/how to get access to qsynth/fluidsynth to use soundfontsIn manage midi devices I ONLY get the option of "general midi"and then its only through "14:0 Midi through port 0 (duplex)" and no
other channels are available or offered!If I import one of the devices that come with rosegarden ( like Aleisis ) there is no sound.
Also if anyone knows: (& if I can fix the above) how do I set Rosegarden to use a software synth like ZynAddSubFX on the track/channel? External softsynths do not show up, so how do I assign the channel to use them>
Ps: Rosegarden did not install with the help files, even a complete removal and reinstall does not fix this- hats why I may be asking questions which could possibly be in the Rosegarden manual ( but NOT anywhere online that I've found in 3 days of searching- and I'm a research assistant for cognitive sciences- eg: good at researching! )

I have a little issue.
I have netbook Asus EEE PC 1001PX (he's got only one jack for headphone and mic, i dont' know how this could work... but anyway)
I have no sound from headphone, from speakers is ok.
I've already edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and insert the options snd-hda-intel model=asus at the bottom, still nothing.
I've try also to uninstal linux-backports-wireless... and still nothing.
Card: Intel HDA.
Jack runs, but I can't get sound to play through it. Another thing that happens is when I launch jack, all audio in the system, whether its connected to jack or not, goes off. There are no errors or anything in the messages window. And I checked to see if it was connected to the correct interface. I have a mac mini and I run ppc lucid lynx. The system does detect my hardware, and its not muted. All I want to do is use MusE. Is there maybe anyway to run MusE without jack?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI finally ditched PulseAudio and set up my system with a realtime kernel. I'm redirecting ALSA over JACK. The good: - Awesome, I can get <5ms latency without any xruns! (although 23.2 msec as described below is just fine for me) The bad: - I'm a long-time linux audio user, but have got some minor issues which spoil the fun.
1. Without pulseaudio, the indicator applet refuses to show a volume control applet. The old gnome-volume-control-applet (the one with tooltip!) loads but doesn't show in the gnome-panel. Although I can set the volume with envy24control, it's not quite as practical as using the scrollwheel! Any way to fix this?
2. When I launching any application (such as a terminal) from the gnome-panel, a new JACK connection is created, but not cleaned up after closing the application. As a result, the QJackCtl connection list is flooded with alsa-jack.jackP.8528.xx connections (where 8528 is the process ID of gnome-panel). The jack_lsp command line program shows the same (added spaces after every : to get around the smiley filter):

I am trying to set my computer up to do sound sequencing. I want to plug my MIDI keyboard in and record with a sequencer. Running 10.04, was following a tutorial on installing JACK, and my audio stopped working. Since then, I've gone through all guides I can find, some advising an upgrade of ALSA, some saying to use OCC. I've tried both, but nothing seems to work.
I suspect it may have something to do with libjack0. I could not install jackd because it claimed libjack0 to be the wrong version, and for some reason I couldn't upgrade. So I uninstalled libjack0, then installed jackd, which automatically included the version of libjack0 it wanted. After that, I could get the JACK server running, but the computer had no sound.
I will post whatever logs or information necessary to troubleshoot, but I don't know exactly how or what to post. If you need logs, please tell me how to get them.
I have everything installed and Jack working fine. I'm in the user group and have realtime enabled and running. My problem is that I can't get my input (the guitar) through rakarrack and out. This is how it is set up:
Guitar is plugged in directly through the Input jack on the sound card (I have tried with the front input, rear, front mic, and rear mic inputs)
I have kde mixer set to allow pass-through of the sound from the input source (I can hear the guitar in my speakers, un-amplified directly from the source). The problem is that I cant get this source into rakarrack with jack to save my life. I have tried all sorts of combinations both physically with the audio jacks and in jack audio. Is that Jack isn't detecting the right input source with alsa or something?
I am not able to start JACK in realtime mode. This is a bummer. here is the error message I get:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } 11:58:20.745 Patchbay deactivated.
