That really looks nice and looks easy to route signals, unfortunately I could never figure out how to use Jack. As soon as I run the daemon all sound disappears permanently and there was never ever anything I could do to make it work. Uninstalling Jack brought everything back again.

KXStudio is awesome, but it would be great if there was an in-depth tutorial how all the parts fit together -- seriously not-obvious.
I read through all tutorials online how to get jack to work. No pleasure.
Do you have a suggested step by step tutorial using KXStudio as Distro ?
Thanks.
