try recording with audacity you don't need jack to do it <div>2007/11/21, Wesley Stout <<a href="mailto:wesleystout@gmail.com">wesleystout@gmail.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wesley Stout <<a href="mailto:wesleystout@gmail.com">wesleystout@gmail.com</a>> Date: Nov 21, 2007 6:24 AM Subject: Re: Ardour recording To: <a href="mailto:ubuntu-studio-users-request@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-studio-users-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a> I appreciate all the response to my problem. I believe like someone has told me that my problem is not with Ardour. I'm not even for sure if it is with Jack. I tried the soundrecorder application and it could not record either. I am not for sure if that app requires Jack or not? I did get Ardour to record but now I get no input and I think it could be more of a driver/hardware problem? Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts?  Thanks for all the help.
