No more sound after running Ardour

  • 772

All the sound works perfect with all the applications on my system. But from the moment I launch Ardour, no more sound comes out from other application than Ardour. The easy way to get it back is to restart the laptop.

This is probably related to Jack ... but it's not clear...

Does anyone know what's going on behind the scene? How to fix it?

  1. in Terminal:$ top | grep jackd, first number in line will be the pid of JACK, kill it with $ kill <pid>. It's the simplest way)

  2. I am still figuring out jack and ardour, but you probably need to stop jack. I use qjackctl which you can find in the software center (if you don't already have it installed). after you finished with ardour hit stop in qjackctl and in my system normal sounds start working again.

  3. Theres probably a more hygienic method, but opening up the task manager and killing the jackd process fixed the same problem for me.

  4. After intalling adour I got no sound from my speakers. In “Sound preferences”, in the “sound output” tab, select “analog audio output”, and I got sound.

  5. Just to share the way I wrote the command to kill jackd:

    sudo killall jackd
