[14:50] <inahd> heyy guys, my system seems to be having some trouble. jack connections isn't showing system playback
[14:52] <inahd> i have selected this ice1712 as my output, for both system sound and jack
[14:52] <inahd> seems like that worked before
[16:25] <holstein> inahd: try another card.. you can always test with the live CD as well
[19:40] <inahd> it seems like no matter what i set as output for jack, i never get a system playback option in the alsa tab...
[19:40] <inahd> this seems very spontaneous,,, although i did install new software
[19:42] <holstein> inahd: i would try a few things.. a live CD to remove your current config
[19:42] <holstein> inahd: i would try as a different user
[19:43] <holstein> i would remove physical devices.. disable internal cards in the bios
[19:43] <holstein> try and just have the one device that you want to use
[19:43] <holstein> i assure you that JACK works.. i use it.. and if you want to try using ubuntu, it might work for you
[19:44] <holstein> that is part of the ubuntu magic is, that it tends to "just work".. and have recent/current hardware support
[19:44] <holstein> it literally wont hurt anything to try an ubuntustudio 13.04 live CD on the hardware
[21:01] <inahd> it was working fine and i don't know what happened
[22:11] <holstein> inahd: try the live CD, friend.. for the distro you are using.. then, you can assume its your config or an upgrade that is "what happened"
