Yes, the sound eventually did work (after a lot of trial & error & self help on the internet) using the SB-awe alsa driver, just not anything to do with JACK.

Hi Gary,

Were you able to get sound to work before running Jack or installing ubuntustudio ?

Hi All.

Forgive me, But I'm a linux-ly challenged old fart who left the cushy world of Mac OSX and I am currently trying to set up the sound in UbuntuStudio.
Two issues:
I get a timidity error whenever it updates ...

Setting up timidity (2.13.2-15ubuntu1) ...
* Starting timidity * Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation... [fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript timidity, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing timidity (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntustudio- audio:
 ubuntustudio-audio depends on timidity; however:
  Package timidity is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing ubuntustudio-audio (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

 ubuntustudio-audio
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The second issue is when I try to run the JACK controller.

Sorry. The audio interface "hw:0" doesn't support any of the hardware sample formats that JACK's alsa-driver can use.

Could it be the sound card is too old? If so, can anyone recommend a linux friendly alternative.

UbuntuStudio looks awesome, but I haven't been able to take full advantage of it yet

This is my system hardware. it's old, but so am I.
