qjackctl - "Could not connect to JACK server as client"
I've had this problem since Feisty... I think it was herd5. Can't pin it down exactly.
What happens is, when I start jackd through qjackctl with the standard settings, it will start. The default buffer settings are too low for my soundcard (soundblaster live value) though. So i have to increase buffers. But once I change any of the settings I get this in the qjackctl message window, when I try to start jackd again:

This is what I get on the command line when I start qjackctl:

Just to show you it works, I started it with the default settings, but this time I got xruns immediately. I can't remember that ever happening before:

My workaround so far has been to start jackd with a script I copied off the internet. I have no idea what it does, and I have no idea what the syntax is. And frankly, I don't have great ambition to learn it:

This works, but the buffers are still set too low, and I don't know how to change that.
I'm this close to just reinstalling Feisty and hoping it will get magically solve. Help much appreciated. |
