even if audio is turned off i m not able to listen to music anymore when pd is open.
quite annoying
anybody any ideas?

I use pulse-jack from falkTX ppa but this is for ubuntu Lucid only, or a music player that can use jack like Aqualung.

Check out this current thread from the PD mailing list, maybe this will help.

thanx for your help guys.

i installed jackd, when typing this command:

pacmd load-module module-jack-source channels=2; pacmd load-module module-jack-sink channels=2;

i get the following error

Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information.
>>> Module load failed.
>>> Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information.
>>> Module load failed.

when trying to connect pd with jack i get
error: JACK: unable to connect to JACK server
JACK: jack returned status 17

anybody know how to fix this?

after installing ubuntu-studio-audio
i got jack running, but pd still stops totem and co.

i installed aqualung and this one works! thx excalibur!

what i still miss is get the sream from aqualung in pd for sound analysis

thx to all....its solved!

How did you solve it?
(I am opened similar thread, maybe you can post there?)

im afraid i dont really know why it works for me now, but i think installing ubuntu studio audio was the solution.
i got other errors than you when running jackd, though.

I implemented this instructions (routed browser audio to jack as a pulse audio).
All went fine.

But pure data still disables the sound when I play music in the browser.

Any clues?

UBuntu 10.10 64bit
pd-extended

not if you use aqualung
