JACK unable to start when ALSA is the driver, but is fine with dummy?

[creamyAm]

Hi there!

Recently, I've been trying to get my computer set up for some simple music production to hold me over while I try and save up money to build myself a new PC as my old one suddenly died one day. As of now, I'm on a little Chromebook running GalliumOS, no problems have sprung up until now.

I believe the issue lies in ALSA as JACK is able to communicate with fluidsynth fine and connect it to Rosegarden when I have JACK work with a dummy driver (I can see Qsynth light up when Rosegarden's metronome clicks). What I'm unsure about is how I can go about zeroing down on the issue as I'm not confident in myself to mess with ALSA's config without full knowledge in what I'm doing.

Here's the logs that JACK spits out whenever I try to start the server.

Any advice is gold for me at this point, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions or give out more logs if it helps in getting JACK to work. :)

Welcome \o/

What does "cat /proc/asound/cards", "arecord -l" and "aplay -l" say?
