Platform: SUSE 11.1, Kernel 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae and Gnome 2.24.1.

Whenever I start rosegarden my sound system dies and I get the following error from rosegarden's sequencer status details:

----------------------

---------------------------

In the stderr output there is a line indicating:
"rosegarden: could not connect to socket
rosegarden: No such file or directory"

When I test the sound system in YAST I find that the system has died and I need to restart it. This necessitates a restart of rosegarden which (again) kills the sound system. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

pcor.

Your kernel is not low latency(1000Hz), which is problematic for realtime media applications. You probably lack sequencer support as well which makes midi operations next to impossible. YaST probably gets confused because you've switched from a sound system based on jackd instead of artsd. "mplayer -ao jack sound.wav" and other ways to use a jack based system. Which doesn't really mean that it's broke, it's just different.

Thanks for the help but I am none the wiser here. "mplayer -ao jack sound.wav" works if I start jackd beforehand. And I forgot to say that when I start rosegarden I use the following script:

#!/bin/sh
jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 &
qsynth &
/opt/kde3/bin/rosegarden

but still no sound from rosegarden. Also, after running mplayer as above the sound dies in Yast and I get the following error:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/sw_single.ycp:595
/sbin/yast2: line 440: 7542 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

I have installed arts (Was I supposed to do that?). I have used rosegarden successfully before with the same kernel running KDE. So where do I go from here?
