I thought jack did support two soundcards, as long as they're not both trying to record or play. In qjackctl settings you can pick a seperate soundcard for input and output, I do this and use my laptop's onboard for playback and an external usb for recording at the same time.<br> <br>Joe<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/7/2 Norio De Sousa <<a href="mailto:norio@maxiware.co.za">norio@maxiware.co.za</a>>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> FINALLY figured it all out.<br><br>My problem is simply that jackd can only support one soundcard at a time.  So I can either record OR play audio.  Not both, so definitely no monitoring of what I'm recording until I figure something out.<br> <br>The positive behind all this is that I can easily replicate jackd settings that work for recording from my guitar, which is super.  I was beginning to wonder if the SoundTech LightSnake cable I bought was working at all!<br> <br><b>Anyhoo...<br><br></b>Alsa supports running 2 cards as 1 virtual card.  That should work for recording on the 1 and listening to the output on the other.  But I just can't seem to get my .asoundrc file right.  Help?<br> <br><a href="http://www.norio.co.za/files/.asoundrc" target="_blank">www.norio.co.za/files/.asoundrc</a><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br><br>Norio<br><a href="http://www.norio.co.za" target="_blank">www.norio.co.za</a><br> </div></div><br>--<br> Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br>
