[ardour-users] Ardour, Jack won't start

[Aaron Trumm]

try something like:

jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 48000 -p 1024

uhm - or just try:

jackd

and see what happens - all those command line options are adjustable:
-R               is to turn on real time scheduling
-d alsa         is to use the alsa driver (this the only option really)
-d hw:0       is the default you don't need this part
-r 48000     is the sample rate
-p 1024      is buffers

again all those options have defaults

la la - other people will say to use:

jackstart

I don't do that - anyway definitely just typing:

jack

won't do it, unless I'm mistaken
