I've got jack up and running and it seems to be working well. Once I turned on the tmpfs stuff, I don't have any underruns or anything. Things sound fine and I can use jamin.

But using jack, I don't get sound out of flash in firefox so I can't watch YouTube and other web flash things. I tried to change the jack alsa plugin to be wired default by setting pcm.!default in asound.conf, but it seems to just continually cycle jack connections until it uses up all my jack ports. Because it does talk to jack, it seems like the alsa config is working fine. But it just doesn't work right.

Is there any way to get this working or am I doomed to stop Amarok or mplayer, turn off jack, and then restart firefox so I can get sound in flash? I can't see any way to specify what alsa device to use for flash.

My asound.conf without jack as default (I use the jackplug device in Amarok for example, in order to use jack):
Code:

pcm.jackplug {
    type plug
    slave { pcm "jack" }
}

pcm.jack {
    type jack
    playback_ports {
        0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
        1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
    }
    capture_ports {
        0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
        1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
    }
}


My asound.conf when I tried to use jack as default, which I only tried because flash won't let me specify an alsa device:
Code:

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave { pcm "jack" }
}

pcm.jack {
    type jack
    playback_ports {
        0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
        1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
    }
    capture_ports {
        0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
        1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
    }
}


Some package versions if that is helpful.
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.101.1-r1
media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc2
media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.0.14_rc1-r1
net-www/netscape-flash-9.0.31.0

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. As you can imagine, searching on "jack" and "flash" isn't very easy! Thanks.

Hi!

I got the same problem... (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4026993-highlight-.html#4026993) So as you can see, you are not alone...

But no answer yet. I'm digging but without luck til now. That's weird that the input show up in qjackctl but unable to connect!
