I've used Jack under ubuntu-studio, at beginning was difficult, with d:b
I'm just at start.

- One important thing is to be shure that jack server is up and running.
this could be not automatic, I needed to start it manually.
- After that I started my applications; jack comes whit a gui-config
program which shows you graphically the active connections. That toke me
out of trouble. To remember: jack connects to physically in/out point
via internal virtual points.

Later on I could be more precise.

hi,

I think it´s that thing of connecting, is confusing for newbies. If someone
can say how can I connect all right, it´s a good help.
