Start off by installing qjackctl, which is a GUI frontend for JACK.

Basic setup involves checking your input/output devices ID by running 'aplay -l' and 'arecord-l' from terminal, then making sure the 'input/output device' settings within qjackctl correspond to the devices you want to use.

For example in my case the output source I want to use is reported by 'aplay -l' as card 0, device 0... meaning that I need to specify hw0,0 as the output device in JACK setup.

Then start the JACK server and make connections using the connections window.

If (when) it doesn't work, play with settings like 'frames/period' and 'buffer' and see if that fixes things.

If not, you might need a specfic server prefix which you can try googling, or let me know.

Hope that helped.

I'm experiencing frequent wifi disconnects in #!11..

The connection often takes a while to connect, and once it does, will drop out for short intervals every 10 minutes or so, which is very annoying when doing pretty much anything. The connection will drop, changing the network manager logo to the 'connecting' loading circle thing, then I'm prompted for the wifi password at least twice before it reconnects.

My wifi card is "Atheros ar9462".. I've done some googling about and found a topic that describes the exact same issue here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=689784

I tried a few things as a result of finding this but the problems remain. I also tried the solution found here:

http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=22174

The connection improved by doing this, I now don't get prompted for password when a disconnect occurs, and the network manager logo doesn't change from 'connected'. But the connection still drops out causing anything that's loading/streaming to die.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could improve my situation?

Here's a relevant 'grep | lspci -vnn' snippet:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device [105b:e052]
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17

	Expansion ROM at 9fc00000 [disabled] [size=64K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: ath9k

Any help is appreciated smile
