Komplete Audio 6 misbehaving, JACK1 made it worse

Post by manic_b »

UPDATE:
Moving from a USB3 port to a USB2 port seems to have got things working reasonably. I'm still a bit concerned about the amount of mess in my setup; is there a good series of steps for ensuring a sane JACK1 installation?
----------------------------


Hullo,

I've got a shiny Komplete Audio 6, which has been widely reported as very linux-friendly. Plugged it in with my existing interface (edirol UA-4FX), was able to switch to it and play sound. Changing sample rate led to trouble.

Next step: disconnect old interface, start playing with configuration. I ran into this problem (cannot register object path):

Noting that switching to JACK1 seems to have worked for others, I added the JACK1 ppa and installed jack1:

Several permutations of installing/uninstalling jack1 and jack2 later, nothing works. Clicking "configure" in Cadence does nothing but dump this into its log:

My ~/.config/jack/conf-jack1.xml is a copy of the previous conf.xml as it was compaining about being unable to find it.

Clearly my install is now a bit of a mess. What is the recommended procedure for getting my setup back into reasonable shape? What are the likely causes of issues with this card? I'm running 12.04 with KDE. I do have pulseaudio and would really prefer to keep it as I have a few Steam games installed that prefer it.

UPDATE: Installing the "jackd1" package appears to have things moving again; I guess that isn't done automatically by the jack1 package? Everything falls apart whenever I try to stop and restart the JACK server though:

UPDATE: nope, now the above error appears every time.
