Static in playback

When I Play a wav file in ardour I get a lot of static as long as the audio
is playing. What’s up, anyone know?

Oh, BTW version 2.5

Thanks

you almost certainly do not have JACK set up correctly. this is a huge topic, and you should use google to investigate it. there is no single source of information for this - a lot depends on your linux distribution and your hardware. just like on windows, ironically enough.
