well, can you explain what do you mean with jack doesnt work out of the box? i installed ubuntu studio setup jack and it worked. when i said setup jack, i speak on setting the latency/frames/buffers/periods. and it worked on the generic kernel with rt flag on jack, so maybe it doesnt work for you, but form works.<br>

Hi all, <br><br>Jack is used for everything, it just seems to be the standard for anything related to audio in linux, BUT it doesn't work out of the box in Ubuntu Studio, which for me seems like a huge contradiction, you have everything that works with jack, but jack doesn't work :S<br>
</blockquote><div><br><br></div></div><div><br>I agree that jack should work out of the box in ubuntustudio but I don't agree that pulseaudio should not be the default audio system.<br><br>
In many cases, jack does not suit users well but pulseaudio is fine. <br><br>As I see it, Jack is a must for audio production, but not for audio in
general. For example, if you have a surround system like in a home
cinema, pulseaudio is the audio system that just works. Not jack.<br><br><br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex">
<br>Am I supposed to <b>"rm /usr/bin/pulseaudio"</b> to make jack work ?, or it is just that Ubuntu Studio is not ready to be used for music production in a real sense ? = it is just for testing and experimenting <br>
</blockquote></div><div><br>US is almost there. Imho, US should add the first user to the audio group automatically so that jackd starts out of the box from qjackctl. jackd post inst script (in lucid) gives the users in the audio group the privileges that jackd needs. <br>
<br>For the rest, qjackctl launches pasuspender so pulseaudio is (almost) out of the way. <br><br>Afaik, a cleaner approach than pasuspender or the rm you suggest in getting rid of pulseaudio is the following:<br><br>qjackctl --> Options tab, execute script on startup:<br>
pulseaudio -k<br><br>(this kills pulseaudio) (artsshell sounds like jurasic) <br> <br>However, pulseaudio will respawn automatically if you don't do the following:<br><br>$ sudo edit /etc/pulse/client.conf <br><br>Change the line:<br>
; autospawn = yes<br>to:<br>autospawn = no<br><br></div><div>If you wish to start pulseaudio, once the jack session is finished:<br><br>$ pulseaudio --start<br><br>BTW, pavucontrol seems better to me than gnome sound control, both being pulseaudio control interfaces.<br>
<br></div></div>Cheers! Pablo<br>
