I’ve just installed a new ubuntu 11.04 including ardour and I’m a bit surprised that I don’t have to start the JACK daemon by myself anymore. Instead I just fire up ardour and JACK is running, too. That’s fine!
But: Ardour won’t play sound through the headphone jack, but only using the internal speakers (it’s a notebook). This is the case just with this JACK-depending application: Once JACK is stopped, I can listen to music and system sounds via headphones again. Just Ardour plays back only via the internal speakers.
I believe this is more a JACK-related thing, but I didn’t find a solution on jackaudio.org, neither
a forum - that’s why I’m here.
Edit the output connections on the bottom of the master strip. How many playbacks do you see under “system” tab? And read this recent thread: http://ardour.org/node/4360
thanks for your support!
Indeed I just had to connect the output to all four system playbacks. No I can hear sound via headphones or the internal speakers.
Apparently pulse audio is still switching the internal speakers off, as soon as I plug in the headphones, which is good, too. I would have thought, this is realized ba hardware, but as Paul wrote it’s more likely a software switch. Anyway, ardour is up and running fine now.
But I have to admit that the routing dialog for connecting ardour’s outputs to the system is hard to use, i.e. it’s not intuitive at all. There’s work to do IMHO.
