Hi,
Having got my Soundblaster card to work with the OSS4 driver as detailed in Thread 40033, I'm having trouble getting JACK to work using Qjackctrl, (the JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface, version 0.3.9). After starting it with Alt F2 and entering, /usr/local/bin/qjackctl this error message appears as a GUI notification:
The messages window displays this:
Everything appears to be set up correctly to work with the OSS driver.
Under the settings tab, I've selected:
Server Prefix: jackd
I've ticked: Realtime
I've unchecked: Enable ALSA Sequencer Support under the MISC tab.
I've tried it with or without: Enable D-Bus interface.
But all to no avail; I always get the dreaded error message:
So there must be something I've missed. I notice, for example, that there is a "Server Suffix" parameter option - which I've left blank.
Additional information:
I should be most grateful for any help with getting this to work.
Thank you for reading.
