Topic: qjackctl stopped working on 8 may

I've been using pianoteq with qjackctl for years, but yesterday it stopped working.
Re-booting the machine and re-running qjackctl and pianoteq can get it working for a minute or so, then it stops - jack and pianoteq cease to see each other.

May be a linux update bug?

Anyone else have this trouble?

Re: qjackctl stopped working on 8 may

Is the problem correlated with doing an update of qjackctl or jack?  What linux do you use, what versions of qjackctl or jack?   If you look at the qjackctl Messages button you'll see messages about any error that may have occurred.   What do you see?  I wonder if you may have developed a hardware problem.   You can run Pianoteq without Jack by selecting "Alsa" audio device type (assuming you are running Pianoteq in standalone mode).  I would check if that works.

I don't know why but I did not see your reply, till I looked today again - sorry I missed it.  I gave up and abandoned using pianoteq.

I have just done an ubuntu update and it has all started to work again :-)

I am using a Debian OS and Pianoteq is working just great with Alsa or Jack, as standalone or with my daw (Reaper). Maybe an update broken something in your system. I always suggest to have a restoration point in your system, if something breaks you can rollback and later try another update. Hope you can fix. Best wishes.
