I finally discovered why I couldn't run Creox and practice guitar using Gtick for a metronome: Gtick is for OSS, and it throws up the error
"Couldn't start metronome. Please check if specified sound device and sample file are accessible" if I try to start it clicking after opening & starting Jack. Naturally, Jack won't start if Gtick is already running. It looks like installing the alsa-oss package is what to do to make Gtick compatible with ALSA and therefore with Jack, but I hesitated and thought I'd ask here whether there's any reason not to install that package in an Ubuntu Studio environment--not sure whether it could interfere with something I'm not aware/thinking of. Am I safe & on the right track? (If there isn't any reason not to install alsa-oss, then should come installed automatically by Ubuntu Studio so that Gtick plays nice with all the Jack applications out of the box?) --Ray -- 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
