The problem was Chrome, not any of those other things. I had been answering "yes" when it asked whether I wanted to restore the old windows each time I restarted it. This time I closed them all and said no, and now it works.

Thanks for your help!

Nothing is muted in AlsaMixer; I even checked all the playback devices on the two sound devices (loopback and default) that aren't in use. I was demonizing pulseaudio because that's what they said here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159605 Since you questioned that, I've been trying it ...

I'm running Kubuntu 17.10 with a lot of kxstudio stuff installed, in particuolar Cadence, using the Alsa -> PulseAudio -> Jack bridge. I had a lot of audio apps (including maybe five Spotify tabs in Chrome) open at once and my computer froze severely, so I hardware-rebooted. If I try to play audio i...

IT"S WORKING ON THE NEW COMPUTER!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

OMG IT WORKS THANKS!

Aha! Thanks, I didn't know I had to do that.

Yesterday I tried the other computer, and I'm *so close* to having that working:

Maybe I'll get it set up on both of them

I can use the builtin speakers, but when I plug into the headphone jack, I get silence. (I know the external speaker works from testing it by tapping my thumb on the end of the cable.) I've attached a screenshot of my settings, and copy of what the log says when I force-restart JACK. Cadence starts ...

Indeed, I had done what you said. Thanks for bearing with me. Today I used apt-cache policy to show me which repo it was using for jackd2, it said I didn't have it installed. That seemed bad, so I ran "apt purge jackd2" and then installed it again, and this time it seems to have used the d...

Now Cadence works! But I'm still getting audio glitches of the kind I was hoping would vanish if I had true realtime support, and I don't think I got the version of jackd2 you were hoping for. The glitches arise when I use TidalCycles, an app that controls SuperCollider via OSC. I just start some lo...

Do I need to switch my version of jackd? I have both jackd and jackd2 installed. I don't know how to read this, but here is, supposedly[1], enough information to deduce the repository that it came from: jeff@jbb-lenovo:~/code/Tidal$ apt-cache showpkg jackd Package: jackd Versions: 5 (/var/lib/apt/li...

Sweet, thanks! I ran Kubuntu's "Discover" manager for updates, and rebooted, and now I can click on *some* of the System page. I was able to set the ALSA bridge to "ALSA -> PulseAudio -> JACK (Plugin)", per your advice in an earlier thread[1]. And I can click Configure to open th...

Nothing on the System page of Cadence responds when I click on it. I tried futzing around in the Tweaks page, but I can't even tell if I'm having an effect. I'm running KUbuntu 16.04 on a Lenovo ThinkPad E545. I just apt-installed a bunch of stuff from KXStudio[1], particularly kxstudio-meta-all, pu...

Great, thanks you guys!

Thanks! I might almost understand!

Do you mean I should skip the step where they say to install 'kxstudio-desktop-kde4', but otherwise do everything they say? Is there something I should do instead of the step(s) that doesn't apply?
