i just got jack working, it turns out there are 2 common 'audio servers' for linux distributions
- pulse audio
- jack
they can apparently co-exist.

both of them feed into alsa as the underlying 'driver' layer.

if sound is working for other apps, look in /etc/asound.conf, there may be an entry like such

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 2
device 5
}
then in qjackctl when specifying the driver parameters, it needs to be
hw:2,5

there is also a different problem about ulimits that needs to be fixed for jack to work
