do you know how to connect Audacity to JACK? It doesn't show up in JACK's connection menus.
With jack started, in Audacity: Edit -> Preferences -> Devices: Select Jack Audio Connection Kit. Did you notice that JACK is an recursive acronym? :)

Well, this is not all. Audacity is not very jack friendly. Its ports (portaudio) appear/disappear when you press/unpress the play button. Use the pause button as a workaround. For example, to record: Press Record, then press pause, make jack audio connections and finally unpress pause.

I am glad I helped.

Cheers! Pablo

Some of the old Edirol usb devices (EDIROL UA-1EX etc) seem to use a 3 byte 24 bit format S24_3LE in advanced mode (96000hz) and Alsa needs to be setup for it in ~/.asoundrc.

Advanced mode can't do 96000hz duplex, so only record or playback can be chosen at any one time.

Assuming the Edirol is hw:1 (cat /proc/asound/cards)

jackd --realtime -d alsa -d hw:1 -p256 -n2 -r96000

or (also for the M-Audio Transit btw)

jackd --realtime -d alsa -P -d hw:1 -p256 -n2 -r96000 // playback

jackd --realtime -d alsa -C -d hw:1 -p256 -n2 -r96000 // record


~/.asoundrc

pcm.!default
{
type plug
slave sl3
}

ctl.!default
{
type hw
card 1
}

pcm_slave.sl3
{
pcm "hw:1,0"
format S24_3LE
channels 2
rate 96000
}

pcm.96000
{
type plug
slave sl3
}
