[ardour-users] Problems with Jack and Ardour/Rosegarden

[Aapo Ville Antrea Romu]

Hi!

Just solved my problem. 2 minutes ago!-) (I'll propably go out and throw
a party ;-)

As of your question, David, I have  Asus K8v Deluxe SE running AMD
Athlon 64 3000+ with 1GB of Kingston DDR400 memory and. As a boot drive
I have IBM DeskStar 20GB IDE drive. My root partition is on ReiserFS 3.6
at Promise SATA-150 controller with 2xSeagate Barracuda 7200.2 120GB
SATA-150 disks running Linux sofware RAID 0. They are all working fine.

My solution was to disable the onboard sound chipset and install SB
Audigy Platinum Ex to PCI slot 4 (only slot that does not share the IRQ
channel). I had the card standing unused on my another computer. Then I
just recompiled Jack and everything was working fine!

I suspect that the problem I had might been related to the fact that the
VIA82xxx sound card (onboard) did not have any latency setting when I
looked at it with lspci. Also I had Dlink WLan (ACX111) on my PCI4 slot
and now it is moved to the slot 2 sharing with Marvel Gigabit
controller.

Also I had to tweak modules.conf manually to load Audigy driver
(snd-emu10k1) at startup. Currently I'm loading snd-emu10k1-synth
manually. Should I add it to the modules.conf also? What should be the
alias for the driver? How do I get Alsa/Jack/another software to know
about the synth?

So. Only thing to resolve is how to get sound out of Rosegarden. Ardour
seems to work fine now.

Thank you all for your help!

Best Regards:
