Believe me, after two weeks I've tried every possible combination of
fixes off the web, in every order, I've uninstalled and re-installed
Studio, re-installed the RT kernel etc etc! I even re-set the sound card
by running Windows 7 (which actually worked for about 1 minute, but not
at all with Jack-Rack).

I started off with Audacity, which is very nice, which led me to the
exciting world of JACK. I'll stick with that until JACK is sorted out I
think!
