White Noise when restarting Jack
Sometimes when I stop Jack in Cadence and restart it again I get a burst of white noise. After stopping and restarting again it works normal.
Does anyone know where this might come from?

Re: White Noise when restarting Jack
Never experienced that but I don't use Cadence. When I get noises in jackd then they are made by (crashing) programs like Qtractor, mostly when doing something with plugins.
In your case maybe Pulseaudio or Pulseaudio-clients make the noise when jackd get restarted.

Maybe Pulseaudio, I wonder how I can check this. I could use the alsa bridge for a while and see if it happens again or just kill pulse audio the next time when the noise appears.

Re: White Noise when restarting Jack
I was facing the same issue (and sometimes still do) when trying to use DrumGizmo with Ardour with a small buffer suitable for recording. After a kernel update this seems to be gone, but I am not completely sure, as I do mostly live shows for now.lilith wrote:Sometimes when I stop Jack in Cadence and restart it again I get a burst of white noise.

Being creative does not imply being lazy, stupid, or illiterate.

Re: White Noise when restarting Jack
It's not related to pulseaudio. It happens regularly when stopping and restarting Jack several times. When I open Ardour then I get a hum with a low volume. When I start transport it turns into white noise. The hum does not show up in the faders .... same with Reaper.. Something in Jack seems to be crashing.
Re: White Noise when restarting Jack
If you listen closely, you'll hear that there's actually a noise when you stop jack too. It's just that this sigh of relief is much softer than the scream of anguish your computer makes when you restart jack.lilith wrote:when I stop Jack in Cadence and restart it again I get a burst of white noise.
Like a steady groan/moan?then I get a hum with a low volume
A shreik of horror, no doubt. Now all you need is some Halloween desktop wallpaper.When I start transport it turns into white noise
