use jack. i often login with ubuntu studio live usb and there are a lot of presets settings in audio production menu. jammr is not installed by default but you can download it from jammr.net. there is qjackctk to start the driver and replace alsa.

hi adi thanks for the reply i will pass the information on and get t working
and will let you no many thanks for your help dogfish666

I recommend using qjackctl to start/stop/configure JACK.

Also make sure to tell PulseAudio not to access the sound card while JACK is using it. You can use pavucontrol to disable a sound card in PulseAudio. This way JACK and PulseAudio won't fight over the card.

If you still have trouble, I suggest going back to ALSA to make sure the basics are working (JACK actually uses ALSA). Post error messages or anything else that might give a clue as to what is happening.
