Having jack problems after updating system

Post by asbak »

I ran some system updates and now I'm having problems getting certain things (Mixx, Youtube) to work with jack which used to be fine before. Is there a way to revert to older jack packages and libraries from before the last update on 11 Dec? I'd like to try to roll back to see if it resolves the issues.

Using Mint 17.2 64Bit.

Until yesterday, Mixx, browseraudio, Windows VST's etc worked fine. Then I made the mistake of running an update today and system audio got completely screwed. I'm guessing it's jack related but it's hard to be completely sure.

I purged KX from the system, compiled jack2, now Mixx works with jack. Browser audio still isn't working for some or other reason, it's hard to test Windows vst's because wine-rt isn't there any longer.

Unfortunately there are so many dependencies that I don't know if there's a clean way to make use of a non-KX studio version of jack2 when KX is enabled?

It would be really useful if it is possible to roll-back to previous package release versions somehow.
