I don't know what to make of the 'audition' example you posted above as I don't use that.

So can you see the tracks you want to hear showing a level in the master channel?

If you can I would check the JACK routing. What do you use to start JACK?

Screenshots could be helpful if you can do that.

Check alsamixer. Maybe your sound card uses separate outputs for headphone and amp.
When you plugin the headphone, the main out is muted. Ardour probably is still sending audio to the headphones.

with Audition chosen the audio of the track plays and feedback and audition flash on the menu, but the bar doesn't move.

'Feedback' would suggest there is some routing messed up.

I use Cadence to start JACK, and it has Catia to manage JACK connections :

From that you can see the metronome and the master outs are going to outs 1 and 2. Whatever you use to manage JACK there will be a similar program to manage JACK connections.

Feedback detected : kills all audio.
You've somehow connected an output to it's own input.
Either find the loop (it's hard probably) or start with a clean session.

I didn't have alsamixer installed, I installed it and chose headphones not muted and I hear a lot of hum in the headphones and the metronome, but no music.

I think Alsamixer was installed but menu won't show it, not even with search. The Jack wiring program I have is Patchage, and looks entirely different.

How are you with the command line?

I start alsamixer in a terminal window with

Code: Select all

alsamixer

Running alsamixer from term, I don't see anything wrong except automute, which I disabled, I think, it shows enabled disabled, so I'm not sure.

You can see the feedback -- Audio 2/audio_out2 is connected to Audio 2/audio_in1

I may have fixed it, partially, thanks to your screenshot, instructions about feedback. But I don't know if I have it wired right yet, but it is playing now. Let me post another screenshot, just a second.

Glad you can hear it!

If you want to hear the metronome you could connect Click/audio_out 1 & 2 and to playback_1 & 2. Same for the auditioner.
