PD cuts off other sound on the computer
When I launch Pd all other audio applications will lose sound (youtube, audio players, movies,...).
Pd forces its own sound in.
How to resolve this?
My specs:
Ubuntu maverick, 64bit
Pd-0.42.5-extended-ubuntu-lucid-amd64.deb
Haven't tinkered with ALSA mixer or other sound control. ANy recommendations where I could look?

Thanks!
There seems to be similar thread going on with sonsofsol.
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
How to fix this?
Also in PD, when I choose ALSA midi, not Jack, then PD appears in Jack control.
Does this mean alsa-midi is the way to connect Pd to Jack? Not by choosing "Jack" in "media"?

any errors when starting jackd?
Hi,
Yes.
I have turned on the computer and freshly started jackd. I start it from qjackcti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qjackctl).

As you can see the last paragraph (...jjack server is not running or cannot be started...) then repeats itself over and over again every 30 seconds.
Seems like Jack isn't working??
Thanks.
note that I get the error message in the previous posting before I connect Pd (or anything) to jack.
I just open Jack and click Start.
try typing in comand line:
jackd
then:
qjackctl
I did.
For command jackd I get this terminal output:

I'm lost.
I have just launched qjackctl from GUI. It opened with a message:
16:26:59.072 Patchbay deactivated.
16:26:59.118 Statistics reset.
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory

16:26:59.390 ALSA connection change.
This appeared before starting jack or qjackclt (or maybe jack is running in the background when I had invoked it from the command line about an hour ago...hmm).
No clue why jack isn;t working. Any ideas??
Hi.
Found this thread and I am having the same issue, but the folks in that link are using Ubuntu Studio. I just got realtime kernel, but that could also be the issue.
[edit]
It did run as long as I had Realtime box unchecked in the set up Jack control. Other boxes did not seemed to matter. It looks more like a bug to me, but can't be sure.

Oops! Looks like something went wrong!
