M-Audio works fine with other application like media players (audacious)
In Ubuntu 12.04 I didn't have this problem.

hi, you seem to have an exotic sound device there;

1. i can see you're using the jackdbus (D-Bus) interface; try not to at first: turn Setup/Misc/Other/Enable D-Bus interface off and try again.
2. you should try first setting Setup/Settings/Parameters/Interface = "hw:USB" and reset both Input/Output device to "(default)" or blank.
3. one recommendation for USB devices is also trying with Setup/Settings/Parameters/Sample Rate = 48000 and Periods/Buffer = 3.

hth.
cheers

i have a similar problem with the Onyx Blackjack USB audio interface:

now when i rig up with qjackctl and rakarrack, they insist on using the laptop mic/speakers for input and output. even when i tell qjackctl to use the USB audio interface instead

this is on OS based on ubuntu 14.04 (had no problems under 12.04)

tried rncbc suggestions, which looked like a potential breakthrough

tried uninstalling and killing pulseaudio

but still the problem persists!

please post the qjackctl/messages window output that find right after you try to start jackd, just like the OP above.

also post a screenshot of your qjackctl/setup/settings tab; and finally, show us the output of `cat /proc/asound/cards` from the command line console.

The qjackctl settings: http://postimg.org/image/8m7nimhep/

all defaults, except I change the interface to hw:Blackjack and disable D-Bus interface. (I have also tried with D-Bus enabled, also with modifying input and output device, also with suggestions on samplerate and buffer.)

thx

p.s. as i mentioned, no problems in trisquel 6 (based on ubuntu 12.04) but i have this same problem in trisquel 7 (based on 14.04) and in ubuntu studio 14.04 liveusb

the messages output kind of indicates that qjackctl is NOT starting the jack-server at all; maybe it's already started ?
please do, from a command-line console, the following:

killall -9 qjackctl
killall -9 jackd
killall -9 jackdbus
pulseaudio -k

and try again.

Hi,

After a lot of researching on the internet, I couldn't solve my problem satisfactorily. On a blog, someone suggested deleting or renaming the ".config/rncbc.org/QjackCtl.conf " file. Perfect, QjackCtl created a new config and reconfigured Jack again...
I solved my problem!!!
Thank you all !
