[09:50] hei, can someone help me, I just instald UbuntuStudio and I want jack to work whit a usb sound plugg, I get sound for it in the pulse audio controller for recording [09:51] but can't get it to run whit jack [09:55] I'm sorry if this is the rong place to ask, but a nuge in the right deriction would be good [09:55] *wrong [10:18] Konig USB 5.1 3D Virtual Sound Controller is the name of it, but I don't think support is the problem, because I can see it in jack [10:27] JeThroHD: I dont know the answer, but do stick around, there are several us tz based people who are good with stuff like that. [10:29] thnx mon, be right back [10:50] Hello JeThroHD [10:50] I've got some USB soundplugs lying around here [10:50] They work with JACK so [10:52] mhmm... so you use the jack setup and change the input device to the useb thing right? [10:54] Yes [10:55] What's the output of cat /proc/asound/cards in a terminal? [10:56] mhmm.... you meen to open jack by the terminal and then look at the outread or do you mean meesege screen in jack? [11:00] sorry dropt out a bit [11:01] He he, np [11:01] No, just open a terminal and type cat /proc/asound/cards [11:01] And then paste the output here [11:03] 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 23 1 [Set ]: USB-Audio - USB Headphone Set USB Headphone Set at usb-0000:00:0b.0-8, full speed [11:03] sorry that was a bit mesy [11:09] this is the error meg form jack: [11:09] No it's ok, thanks! [11:09] Ah, so your USB thingy is called 'Set' [11:09] In QjackCtl you can enter this manually in the 'Interfaces' field of the Set up window [11:09] think so, do you mean the brand? [11:10] like this hw:Set [11:10] ok thnx [11:10] No it's the name the system gives to this soundcard [11:14] Does it work? [11:15] I think it's working, but I still can't get any sound to my headphones [11:15] 13:13:42.980 XRUN callback (9) is the messege from jack [11:15] Headphones are connected to the USB card? [11:15] Ah, xruns [11:16] What number of periods/buffer are you using? [11:16] And frames/period? [11:16] 3 [11:17] I just let it all be defult [11:17] 3 is good [11:17] for USB [11:17] (2=onboard, 3=USB/FireWire) [11:18] where do I setup this? [11:20] Also in QjackCtl, the Setup window [11:20] Try starting with a higher frames/period setting (like 1024) and try to get as low as possible without getting any xruns [11:21] still can't find the onbord or usb/firewire setting, sorry [11:23] its alredy sett to 1024, sould i go lower? [11:25] the onboard or usb setting => periods/buffer [11:25] 2 periods/buffer=onboard, 3 periods/buffer = USB/FireWire [11:25] If you're getting xruns with a frames setting of 1024 there is something going wrong [11:28] I have a similar USB sound device here, a C-Media one, and that runs just fine [11:30] any Idea how to truble shot this?? [11:31] is it beacuse of the alsa driver? [11:32] Which Ubuntu Studio version are you using? [11:32] Which version of Jack? [11:36] natty and kernel 2.6.38-10-generic [11:37] is that a real time kernel ? [11:48] The xrun is bad on defult settings also, would it help if I took a screenshot of the setup? [11:57] Yeah, that might help [11:58] 2.6.38 is not a realtime kernel, but you don't need one [12:06] ok, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11295547/Pictures/screenShot.png [12:06] thnx for the effort [12:30] JeThro_HD: those are all default settings [12:30] And thanks [12:31] Try setting sample rate to 48000 and Periods/Buffer to 3 [12:31] k [12:31] In the interface field enter manually 'hw:Set' without the single quotes [12:33] still get the "14:33:16.300 XRUN callback (3)" [12:34] Does it look a bit like this? http://linux.autostatic.com/temp/qjackctl-konig.png [12:38] timeout where difrent and frame/priod, but after I changed that it still gives me xruns callbacks [12:40] And what might help is to disable CPU frequency scaling [12:40] What kind of CPU do you have? [12:41] amd athlone duel core 4200+ [12:42] Then it might help to add two panel applets to your gnome bar [12:42] Right click - Add to panel - CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor [12:43] Do that two times, one for each core [12:43] ok [12:43] In the preferences for the applet set one applet to monitor CPU 0 and the other to monitor CPU 1 [12:44] k done [12:44] And then set both CPU's to Performance and make sure they don't scale or use the Ondemand setting [12:44] both on prefomence? [12:45] Yup [12:45] done, that stopes the scaling? [12:45] Yes, jackd can have issues with scaling [12:46] let me try a restart, be back in 2 sec [12:47] Ok [12:51] right still callbacks but the error msg is different [12:51] **** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 0.019 msecs [12:51] JackPosixMutex::Unlock res = 1 [12:51] 14:49:25.026 XRUN callback (1). [12:51] What does jackd --version in a terminal output? [12:52] this repits [12:54] mhmm I only have qjackctl installed and when i typed jack it sayd it was'nt installed [12:54] dose that meen anything [12:54] ? [12:54] jackd --version [12:54] did'nt say [12:55] how do i start it up so it says? sudo first? [12:55] and aptitude show jackd? [12:55] No QjackCtl starts jackd for you [12:56] aptitude show jackd | grep Version [12:57] version 5 (is that right?) sounds wiard [12:58] No that's ok [12:59] If you press Start in QjackCtl you can also open the Messages window, the JACK version is mentioned somewhere in there too [13:01] is it "jackdmp 1.9.7" [13:02] Ah, Jack2 [13:02] thanks [13:03] Try adding '-S' after the jack command in the Server Path field of the QjackCtl Setup window [13:06] what dos "-S" do? [13:06] It puts JACK in synchronous mode [13:06] sil xrun fail [13:07] Hmm, bummer [13:08] Then I fear I'm out of options :( [13:09] I have had a live cd on this commputer before, and jack worked from that, mabe I can cpoy the settings? [13:09] What kind of live CD? [13:09] what do you think, is it the new version there is smoething wrong whit or just the setup? [13:10] it was a guitar live cd based on debian, think it was squeez. it had the realtime kernel though [13:11] Ah, then I think it is Natty probably [13:11] I don't use it myself [13:11] I'm still on Lucid (10.04) [13:12] mabey, mhmm I would to but I want to use this setup for video edeting too so that's why I wnt whit natty to get the latest whitout commpiling from source [13:12] cose that is over my head [13:13] video editing? [13:13] What are you using for that? [13:13] And I think it is possible to get an xrun free setup with Natty but it might require some digging [13:14] mhmm [13:15] But what are you using for video editing? [13:16] kden and blender + open shot, weird it's not giving me xruns (i put it back to deffult) [13:16] Oh, he he [13:16] what did the -S do? [13:16] It puts Jack2 into synchronous mode [13:17] Not sure what that exactly means [13:17] But it helps in some cases [13:17] Natty is using an older version of kdenlive btw [13:17] mhmm... I know, that's why I got the ppa from the website [13:18] Ah good :) [13:18] Less xruns now? [13:18] Gotta go btw [13:19] jeep... in defult mood [13:19] *mode thanx for the help [13:19] Sure you're using your USB card? [13:21] no sat it back to defult, on the usb it gos back to xruns === SOEPgarnaal7 is now known as SOUPshrimp7
