KX Studio 12.04

[Jasy]

Hi,
I installed the 12.04 KX Studio that is in the official website and i just can't get my audigy4 working.
Installed the same distro in my Lenovo Z61T and everything is fine.

Some more details might be useful: what did you try, what happened, any error messages?

According to ALSA Sound Card Matrix, Audigy 4 should work just fine.

Open Cadence, click Configure, and in the ALSA section, list your sound devices.

I don't own Audigy 4 so I can't be sure but I have an emu0404 which has the same chip as Audigy 2 and it requires alsa-firmware to be installed. Check if your card need it too.

I have a Audigy 2 ZS and it works out of the Box, i just had to change the Jack Settings so it will actually be used. Maybe that's the issue here?

In Ubunto studio it works well but with KX not really. I managed to make it work but only once. I'm moving for my old lappy as it handles linux like a champ and i have no problems with audio then i'll get back to the desktop.

Very thankful for the replies

I find that weird since the base system is exactly the same (in fact, most linux distros are 95% similar or more. What works on distro X is very very likely to work on distro Y as well).
Most likely you just need to configure jack properly

[Jasy]

Can you help me with that? i'm noob at this

The preferred tool in KXStudio to configure jack is 'cadence', try it.
If it tells you that it failed to start jack, use "tools" -> "logs" to see what the jack-log reports

I wanted not to release this post yet, but since it may help you getting started, here it is:
Hands On KX Studio
The Section about Cadence may be usefull for you, since it describes the problems i had myself with the jack configuration. Also you may check the configuration once in a while, i noticed, that sometimes the configuration is not saved or is resetted. You can also click on the Screenshots to show them in full size.

Nice article there! Screenshots are always welcome

The cadence/jack-settings issues are fixed on the upcoming release, but it's not ready to be pushed yet.
Carla is taking me much more time than I wanted it to, but that also means a more stable release for it.

Nice, amsel! Thanks! You didn't mention anywhere (that I could see) what you did to get Cadence to have a friendly check for real-time though, yet I see that in your second screen shot…

Do you mean this...

It just does.

Or do you mean how to get Cadence to run Jack in realtime? But, again, I'm fairly sure that if it can, it just does. Note that I have a low latency, not rt kernel. If I remember correctly, I wouldn't get that green check on a generic kernel.

But I can't believe the answer is this simple, because you are way ahead of me on this stuff. If I misunderstood the question --- just ignore

[wolftune]

Oh nevermind. I just got confused. When you had the clickable first screen that shows the whole cadence window and then the non-clickable little piece of a window a few images below, I couldn't see it well and just connected the wrong parts in my mind, thinking you had installed a real-time kernel and had two checks on the left side.

Interesting, incidentally, that you've now appeared to do what I did and leave the dark KXStudio color scheme in favor of something more normal.

I love FalkTX's software, but not his taste in colours

When you run KXStudio Welcome...

Just uncheck this...

My current system is Ubuntu 11.04 classic. My next stop will be 12.04 with MATE, to keep the Gnome-2 look and feel. Experimental install is Ubuntu 12.04 Studio base, with fairly minimal KXStudio and MATE desktop.
