Hi all, I had my Jack audio control up and running recently and got myself to grips with the audio and midi connections involved but now when i start it up i get no sound and i cant think why, im pretty certain im doing what i did before but it just wont work.
This is the messages it gives on startup, hope it helps:

Trouble with JACK

Re: Trouble with JACK
Hi, Chimples. Your jack messages look healthy to me, there's nothing wrong there.
Are your audio outputs turned up? Use alsamixer or similar.
How are you generating the audio (that you can't hear)?

Re: Trouble with JACK
I had tried running virtual midi keyboard through aeolus, which previously worked, but failing that I was playing youtube videos (to test the sound) which also failed. The audio was definately turned up as they would run fine, id start jack, and audio would just stop.
Re: Trouble with JACK
Hi chimple, have you checked that the interface is the right one, in the qjackctl setup?
If you happen to have more than one audio device and you have not given to them consistent numbers in the alsa configuration file, they could change device ID number in different boots. In this case, jack would be controlling the other device (if there is such other, I am just trying to guess)

Re: Trouble with JACK
Ive tried to run jack with all the options under interface with no luck. I've also found that jack crashes other programs when i run it.
Re: Trouble with JACK
Thanks to all for the help, have just noticed these in the message box and figured they might be useful

Re: Trouble with JACK
Unfortunately playing you-tube vids isn't going to work unless you're using something like the ALSA Jack Plugin because neither your browser or flash is jack-aware. ( I personally don't find this plugin very effective but YMMV. )
Aeolus should work but you will need to manually connect the audio & midi ports.
Jack grabs control of the audio system and will block any other program that tries to use it ( and crash them too It sounds like!).
Have you tried using a jack-capable media player like aqualung to play an audio file?
Further to Pablo's suggestion, can you post the result of typing into a terminal? Also
?

Just missed your last post. Try setting periods=1024 ( a nice safe value ). 64 is a very low setting which is why you are getting all those xruns.

Re: Trouble with JACK
Changing the period settings did it, thanks a lot for the help, still seems to crash my web browser though, regardless of whether its producing audio, but i can live with that. Thanks again
