ok Thanks I think I got it worked out. I tried studio on two newer computers and it worked fine. Just some of the files I made in Adour don't work right but that's because I did some crazy patching or looping.
I had problems because studio never installed the 1 HDA ATI HDMI and 2SAA 7134 drivers on this computer before. Also for some reason if I've been using ALSA I need to restart the system before I can use Jack. On the newer computers I could change back and forth a few times before I had to restart. Looks good!!
