Audio playback problems with Ardeur and Rosegarden

Hello everyone,

I've got a problem with Ardeur and Rosegarden. I have imported WAV-files to play but I am unable to get playback through speakers. Rhytmbox plays mp3s and WAV-files ok. What should I do to fix this?

Hi, with ardour you will need to select the audio outup path, (to HW:0, or your sound chip name)

Ardour requires memory settings in /etc/sysctl.conf

Code:

fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288

and if you are dealing with RealTime you may need jack(seq) and set-rlimits.

First make sure you (and your users) are part of the audio group.

You may need to reboot for the permissions to take effect.

Next makesure you select the correct audio out.

Hope this helps.

Regards Glenn

Also check the bit rate for your programs (44100kHz, 48000kHz, ...).

Very immportant.
use file,

Code:

 
file '/home/glenn/Music/music_files/Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Castle Remaster)/02 - A National Acrobat.flac' 
/home/glenn/Music/music_files/Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Castle Remaster)/02 - A National Acrobat.flac: FLAC audio bitstream data, 16 bit, stereo, 44.1 kHz, 16459884 samples

file "/home/glenn/local/music/music_files/12PM/unknown - unknown/12 - unknown 12 - Track 12.wav"
/home/glenn/local/music/music_files/12PM/unknown - unknown/12 - unknown 12 - Track 12.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz

Cheers

Hello,

Thank you for help. I added some audio outputs in Ardour and everything seems to work fine now.
