[17:38] <BinarySavior> hello, using Studio Controls, JACK is failing to start
[17:38] <BinarySavior> where can I view the logs?
[17:51] <Eickmeyer> BinarySavior: ~/.log (autojack logs)
[17:51] <Eickmeyer> BinarySavior: That said, you may have to delete your ~/.config/autojack directory and start over, your might have corrupt configs.
[17:58] <BinarySavior> I deleted the config and jack still won't start
[17:59] <BinarySavior> https://bpa.st/IXVA
[18:30] <BinarySavior> if I run jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:1 then jack server starts, but then ardour can't see my midi controller
[18:30] <BinarySavior> but if I open ardour without jack running, then it detects my midi controller, but I don't hear any playback
[18:36] <Eickmeyer> OvenWerks: ^ ?
[18:37] <Eickmeyer> BinarySavior: That's because ardour will start jack on its own.
[18:38] <Eickmeyer> Make sure ardour is set to look at the correct sound server (alsa, jack, pulseaudio)
[18:41] <Eickmeyer> BinarySavior: Sometimes you have to reboot after deleting the configs. You might have a process stuck.
[18:42] <BinarySavior> Eickmeyer, Ardour was pushing master to wrong hardware output
[18:42] <BinarySavior> now ardour is working with its built-in jack server, I would still like to be able to run jack with the gui for applications where I want to control the audio channels but the software doesn't have a built in jack server
[18:49] <Eickmeyer> I totally understand. I was just wanting you to make sure you have ardour running *after* you start Jack with studio controls. If ardour is running before, you'll have trouble.
[18:49] <Eickmeyer> But if you delete the configs in ~/.config/autojack, you have to relog or reboot, no way around it.
[18:56] <BinarySavior> Eickmeyer, cool thanks
[18:57] <BinarySavior> I will revisit this in the future, right now ardour's default jack server is working for me after I pointed it to my usb audio device instead of the hdmi audio device it was using
[19:09] <Eickmeyer> BinarySavior: That's good to hear. Honestly, the work on PipeWire is coming along swimmingly, and I think by the time 24.04 rolls around this upcoming April it'll be nice and solid.
