With my current setup, every time I reboot, it's a crapshoot whether I'm going to come up with my emu10k1 or my ice1712 as the card JACK is using. I once went a month before I noticed JACK was talking to the emu10k1. I did eventually notice, and go ah ha, but they're not exactly light years apart in performance. Considering the one was about $100 and the other about $15, the SB Live 5.1 Value Edition is really pretty damn good. It's a pity they have become unobtanium. -- D.

It works great for games and sounds good as well. I have the breakout box too. I haven't been able to get anything on the breakout box going. Anyone have any links for how to get it working? One other issue going with creative anything is for recording. Everything I've been reading about creative cards is that the latency makes them pretty much unusable for recording.

Something that might be worth confirming, for the discussion -- is this true just for the UbuntuStudio theme, or true also for the regular Hardy GNOME theme? -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

It does look interesting to tell KDE to use the GNOME icon set (interesting as in totally pukey, but I'm trying to look at this as a unified presentation, and it's subtly more unified now.) I also have a KDE "Ubuntu Studio" color scheme now. If I go one bigger and supply a default rosegardenrc that has the bundled theme option turned off, the colors come out even better. None of this actually affects Skype or QJackCtl at all, which both seem totally bullet proof as far as getting their presentation to change, but I just turned all of this back to factory defaults to compare the difference running Rosegarden and QSynth, and the difference is very striking compared to a user with no .qt or .kde directories taking the config from the lib default settings. It almost seems a good enough answer to all those whiners who keep demanding a GTK port. I wouldn't do this in such a way that these new settings would get pulled in for a user installing Ubuntu Studio on top of something else, but for someone installing off your DVD and expected to be running GNOME, I think maybe I haven't wasted my time today after all. Here's what it looks like now. http://home.comcast.net/~documentarian/demo2.jpg I haven't tarballed the new .kde directory, because I have to hand edit some stuff out of this to make a good /etc/skel template, and I have a vague feeling you're about to tell me this was all a futile exercise, because you were looking for some other answer to this question, and this whole approach is totally untenable for some reason. But maybe not. -- D.

The list will puke on my large attachments, so here, look at this and tell me you aren't happy with the result: http://home.comcast.net/~documentarian/demo.png I don't know what this used to look like, but I would hazard QT apps never looked so much like the native GNOME stuff on Ubuntu Studio.

I've had another look, and the reason I can't figure this out is because I'm really not sure what the problem is, or if there actually is a problem here. I've got KDE back on that box now, and going back and forth between KDE and GNOME, the look and feel of these QT3 apps is definitely changing. They don't look GNOME native, but they look quite different under GNOME, and memory tells me that might actually be how they looked on Gutsy. I'm not sure. Can you or somebody please send me some screenshots (the "window under cursor" capture mode would be great, if the GNOME equivalent of KSnapShot has this mode) of QJackCtl and anything else worth paying special attention to? If possible, I'd like to see: A) What it's supposed to look like when everything is normal (eg. a shot of this in its native GNOME environment on Gutsy, or a Hardy at a point in time when everything is behaving) B) What it looks like in this new state I'm trying to fix to make it go back to looking like A I'm thinking I will determine there is no problem on this particular installation, but even from this particular state, I can probably make the QT3 apps look more GNOME-like, perhaps even moreso than they had ever been before, so this whole exercise probably won't have been for nothing after all.
