Hi, when you change a usb connection or device, it can alter the order and names that are
in the settings in the qjackctl setup panel, for Input and Output devices,
so jackd is like a batter whiffing on a hard slider, or a skaters triple-axel gone bad.
The proper name for the device you want to use, if the kernel sees it,
is seen within brackets, in the output of these commands:
bash-4.1$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [M2496 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96
M Audio Audiophile 24/96 at 0xac00, irq 17
bash-4.1$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
bash-4.1$ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
This was my system output, and ICE1712 multi
is what I choose, or type in, when clicking the
Input/Output Device > or v widgets in qjackctl.
Some devices are input only, (your guitarport?) so you must also choose the right
Output device for your system.
Soon you'll use the easy access flexibility, to your advantage,when swapping out gear
with intent.
If your save file is on a crowded fragmented ntfs partition, I would get an external drive,
move the non-system files to it, so mainly just the OS and installed software are left,
and defragment the drive. Then do a savefile saved in the root of C:
Move things back only if you need to. If it's a linux-only setup, try saving it directly
to / (not in any folder) I also would repeatedly resize it, to the size you want,
before adding things to it. Then back it up. Then use and populate it.
In the long run, as your music/work gains value,
the importance of off-site backups becomes clear. Fire, thieves, flood, user blunders,
(my speciality) just don't give them a fighting chance.
Cheers
