slidinghornWhen trying to start JACK from qjackctl, I get the following error in the message window (this does not change if I add "pasuspend -- " before the server prefix) http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3Zmw56yhFq/21:42
slidinghornthis is Ubuntu Studio 18.0421:43
OvenWerksodd, I had no trouble starting and stopping jack via dbus22:32
OvenWerksHowever I was using jack_control not qjackctl.22:32
slidinghornAlso possibly of interest, after I "Quit" qjackctl, jackdbus is still running, according to ps aux22:37
slidinghornIf I attempt to open qjackctl again and start the server (without killing the previously opened jackdbus process) I get the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Sq9wfJ3h9J/22:41
OvenWerksjackdbus should still be running, but if you do jack_control status it should return stopped.22:42
OvenWerkspasuspend should not be needed.22:43
OvenWerks(for over 4 years now i think)22:43
slidinghornjack_control status returns ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.268:/org/jackaudio/Controller: dbus.exceptionsDBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.22:45
OvenWerksIt sounds like jackdbus is not running correctly then... so killall -9 jackd jackdbus22:45
slidinghornstatus now returns "stopped"22:47
OvenWerksqjackctl should work better too.22:47
OvenWerkswhat is sound card 3? is it a USB audio box?22:47
slidinghornI have my interface set to my USB headset.  This is what JACK says in Messages now when I click "Start" (currently the status seems stuck on "stopping")  http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HDKKQ2nXQH/22:52
OvenWerksOk, lets try pasting the output of: cd /tmp && wget http://jackaudio.org/downloads/adevices.sh && bash ./adevices.sh22:55
OvenWerksAll one line22:55
slidinghornshould I click "Stop" first?22:56
OvenWerksno22:56
slidinghornHere you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QYgG3mH7Pv/22:57
OvenWerksHow did jackd get started? was that with qjackdbus or some other way?22:59
slidinghornI have no idea - I've only attempted to start using qjackctl, and even though it says it failed, jackdbus still is running22:59
OvenWerksThats just the dbus server part, jackdbus it self is not.23:00
slidinghornwhat's this?  /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:Hea -r48000 -p64 -n223:01
slidinghorn(qjackctl still shows "stopping" btw...been like that for 14 minutes now23:02
OvenWerks-p64 -n2 may be a bit small for a USB 1.1 audio interface though, might try -p64 -n2 or -p128 -n223:02
OvenWerksjack_lsp should show at least 4 ports23:03
OvenWerks(unless it errors)23:03
slidinghornhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/h8SNjr6gCG/23:05
OvenWerksjack can be started in two ways, with dbus and with out. jackd is without dbus control though it still uses dbus to ask pulse to give up the interface23:05
OvenWerksjack is frozen, killall -9 jackd jackdbus qjackctl23:06
slidinghornok...23:06
OvenWerksthen open qjackctl again and go to settings23:07
OvenWerks in setting change frames/period from 64 to 12823:07
slidinghorndone23:07
OvenWerks try to restart23:07
slidinghornayyyyyy23:07
slidinghornso in lay-terms...why was that a problem?23:08
OvenWerksthe usb driver/card combination was not able to handle the small size of buffer23:09
OvenWerksthe fact that it is limited to 16bit audio kind of hints at it being a USB 1.1 design rather than USB 2.0 audio.23:10
slidinghornokay...now when selecting an input device, I have an option for hw:Snowball and hw:Snowball,0  -- what's the difference?23:10
OvenWerksthere shold be no difference between the two.23:11
OvenWerkssnowball is a USB mic?23:11
slidinghornyes23:11
OvenWerksuse zita-a2j to connect it23:11
OvenWerksother wise you will have input to jack only23:12
OvenWerksIn other words set up jack with your output device and then add the snowball with zita-a2j23:13
slidinghornokay23:13
OvenWerkszita-a2j -j mic -d hw:snowball  -r 48000  -p 128 -n 2 &23:15
slidinghornhmm...typing zita into my search only pulls up zita-mu1, zita-Rev1 and AT123:15
OvenWerksor something like that23:15
slidinghornoh I have to call it via CLI - got ya23:16
OvenWerkssigh, I thought it was included23:16
slidinghornapt-cache policy shows zita-ajbridge is installed...apparently it's not in the menu though23:17
OvenWerksya, in qjackctl connections window and "mic" port should just show up23:17
OvenWerksno it is not in the menu23:17
OvenWerks it has no gui23:17
OvenWerksit can be added to qjackctl though23:18
OvenWerksin the qjackctl setup window in the Options tab there is a line with checkbox called: Execute script avter Startup.23:20
OvenWerksthe zita-a2j line can go there23:20
OvenWerksThen it will start at the same time as jack does23:20
slidinghornwithout the ampersnad, I take it?23:20
OvenWerksthe & is needed23:20
slidinghornah, ok23:21
OvenWerksit lets control return to qjackctl23:21
slidinghorn(sorry for all the dumb questions - completely new at this)23:22
OvenWerkswe all start somewhere23:24
