after that burst of activity about linux installations, the list seems
to have gone quiet again, and i'm unsure that this first post of mine
went through, so i'm sending it again - excuse me if it did and this is
a repeat. can someone let me know that this post has arrived?
i've now worked out that if i start jack manually *first* and then
launch ardour, things work ok, but i didn't used to have to do that -
ardour took care of everything itself (i'm running version 2.7.1 on
ubuntu intrepid)...
greetings,
first post to the list, hello to all! i've been using ardour (a convert
from nuendo) for several months now, both for my own composition work
and for the production of my radio show (www.murmerings.com, and
www.frameworkradio.net) and i've been finding it a great tool. i have a
few small questions though, and one big recent problem. i'll start with
the problem, and maybe we'll see about the small questions another time...
until very recently ardour and jack started up very well on my system.
it made all the connections it needed, and, although i quickly learned
that i couldn't use any other playback software on my system at the same
time (ie vlc, songbird, skype, anything not running through jack), i
could start work immediately. but in the last few weeks something odd
has been happening: when i launch ardour i get a log message that reads:
"[WARNING]: no outputs available for auditioner - manual connection
required"
then ardour opens the project, but i have no playback. i then have to
manually open jack and click 'connect'. if i'm lucky, the 'input ports'
field will include 'system playback', to which i can manually connect
ardour's master outs, but sometimes 'system playback' is missing.
somehow with lots of fiddling i've always managed to get sound, but it's
tedious and worrying, especially since everything used to function
automatically with no problems. does anyone have any advice for me?
thanks, and thanks for this great piece of software,
patrick
