<div>John/Andre -</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the help so far. Here's the steps I'm doing exactly:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- From command line:</div>
<div>~$ qjackctl &</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(qjackctl starts)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- Press [Start] button</div>
<div>(display readout changes from faded "Stopped" to lit "Starting...", message box displays previously posted activity, then readout changes back to "Stopped".)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>running:</div>
<div>~$ jackd -v -d alsa</div>
<div> </div>
<div>gets the exact same output as the message box in qjackctl</div>
<div> </div>
<div>in XMMS I'm using the libjackout.so driver, though I suspect that XMMS is reverting to a non-JACK driver without saying so - in Options > Preferences it still says it's using the JACK driver. XMMS still makes sound whether jackd or qjackctl is "running" (which it doesn't) or not.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm suspecting that this problem may have something to do with permissions? As in, I installed something as root that I should have installed as a normal user? In any event this seems to be more of an ALSA/JACK problem than a PD problem (or an ubuntu problem for that matter). Maybe I'll take this question over to their mailing lists to see what they make of it.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks again,</div>
<div>David</div>
