Jack Errror - what to do?

Hi guys,

I suddenly have the problem that the jack server is not working anymore. Two days ago, when I last worked on the project, everything was still running.

Here is the message:

Does anyone know what I can do? I’m standing there like “an ox in front of a mountain” (as they say in German).

Ich verstehe es nicht.
Kaum hatte ich die Nachricht hier geschrieben, da funktioniert es wieder. Nichts verändert. Einfach nur (wie vorher auch mehrere male), Jack neu gestartet.

Seltsam!

Hi,
Please refer to this article:

When you start jack, you are using a device number. Replace the device number with a device name. The device name provides consistent identification.

In other words:
replace
hw:O22
with
hw:DEVICE-NAME

Hope that helps.

Disableing pipewire resolved it for me. Google the command for your linux distro. Do not uninstall pipewire on Ubuntu. It will remove gnome along with it for some reason.

The device named O22 is not present, but is the device selected to use.
That looks like a short name, does it match part of the model name of the audio device you were using two days ago?
Either replace that device, or select a different device to use.
