Hi there, I need help to configure Ubuntustudio on my machine

Sun Apr 8 16:34:02 UTC 2012

I highly recommend qjackctl (see http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/ ) for
controlling the jack audio server. If you're running ubuntu studio it
should be installed already. It makes starting/stopping/configuring the
jack server much easier. Jack never runs on computer startup because it is
designed to handle any audio needs from basic to extremely complex. It
therfore has a bewildering array of options that take some time to figure
out. That being said, qjackctl makes using jack about as painless as using
such a complex piece of software can be.
