Yeah, I actually ran the kill, must have helped. The reason I wanted to disconnect everything successfully in QJackCTL was because I was getting sound regardless of the wireup with jack and that is not good, it prevents it from being useful if I only want stuff from Rakarrack and Guitarex to record ...

Must be a bug in the software, I decided to give a try to changing to my on board sound device/card in QJackCTL and change it back, and now it works right when I disconnect the QJackCTL connections, silence again. Must be a bug that I've been dealing with. What a PITA. Just as I was figuring out thi...

I need help again.

I don't think I changed anything, yet for some reason, jack is loading automatically from bootup and when I disconnect all connections in QJackCTL sound still plays! I don't get it, I don't think I changed anything.

So rather than be a hed picking around the field for seeds, I'm going right to the feedbox (the manual for Ardour), but I'm impatient to learn what "readable/output ports" and "writeable/input ports" means, I can't figure out, from readings, how those work, except some have speaker icons and some ha...

rebooted, here it is: wutsinterweb@wutsinterweb1 ~ $ apt policy pulseaudio-module-jack pulseaudio-module-jack: Installed: 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4 Candidate: 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4 Version table: *** 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/d...

Ran it, it didn't write back anything in term?

I got some more help over there and did a few things myself, I'm trying to remember all I did to get where I am so I can record it here. So I have Jack interfacing with recording and playing with both Rakarrack AND Ardour. I've learned a lot since I started, thanks to help, forums, and tutorials. An...

Quick update, can't elaborate right now: It's mostly working!

I just used program manager to remove jack from my system and then reinstalled with this command: wutsinterweb@wutsinterweb1 ~ $ sudo apt-get install jack-tools ant openjdk-6-jdk fftw3 qjackctl [sudo] password for wutsinterweb: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state inf...

how do I go about removing all of kxstudio stuff safely, including configurations, without removing alsa, jack, and what else I might be worried about?

It strongly appears it is a problem with something in jack, NOT Ardour: I just, while running qjackctl, started Rakarrack and indeed, I hear my guitar but no effects even with effects turned on. Here is the message list in qjackctl: 19:33:49.990 Statistics reset. 19:33:50.001 ALSA connection change....

Curious, wonder if I need to remove all remnants of KX Studio where the problems (other than jack not running hearing and recording audio in Ardour). Here is the thing, I have a nagging feeling that may be PART of my problem, particularly since there is an asoundrc inside of the kxstudio directory: ...

Interesting, I tried running that in terminal: wutsinterweb@wutsinterweb1 ~ $ a2jmidid -e & [1] 31387 wutsinterweb@wutsinterweb1 ~ $ JACK MIDI <-> ALSA sequencer MIDI bridge, version 8 (7383d268c4bfe85df9f10df6351677659211d1ca) built on Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969 Copyright 2006,2007 Dmitry S.

Nope, didn't help. Maybe a second restart? They don't respond with much in the Lmusician forum either, I don't think anyone knows what to say.

Since we talked, I've spent 2 days fighting with Ardour and my sound card settings and I still cannot record with it, and I can't get the start window for midi/sound setup to start, it just goes straight into Ardour with jack. I'm asking for help in the LM forum but it's very quiet there.

Strike that, I figured it out with your help:

Start Menu->Preferences->startmenu(Gnome...) and then add it manually from /usr/bin/pulseaudio

It's different in Cinnamon, but while there is pulseaudio volume control, there is no pulseaudio in the list and no seeable way to add it to the list, not even edit it seems.

Ok, so there is still a problem, pulseaudio doesn't start with bootup. I have to do a terminal command pulseaudio --start after booting.

You are good people, as all here are, thanks again. This is what I like about Linux, you can often fix broken things but not always with other OSs it seems.

I think I'm going to cool my heels for tonight now that I'm at least at this point thanks to you.
