JACK unable to connect to server

[theoB610]

I cannot start JACK, returning this error:

Code: Select all

JACK server starting in realtime mode with priority 10
Cannot lock down 82274202 byte memory area (Cannot allocate memory)
21:39:05.686 JACK was stopped successfully.
21:39:05.738 JACK has crashed.

Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started

Any ideas whats happening?

Assuming Raspbian:

There are ways to avoid the memory fault (reduce the number of periods to 512 is one, i.e. -p 512), but I've yet to encounter a solution to running Jackd 2.0 successfully for general use as it requires the alsa driver to have memory mapping support, which it doesn't seem to have.

I have seen a thread that suggests running an older version of Jack 1.9.8? with the "dummy" driver and using alsa_in, alsa_out to communicate with it via your applications. However none of this has been stable when I have tried. Other people have had more luck though!

I'm of the opinion that we need to wait a bit for the sound drivers to mature. I wish I could help as there is a growing clamour (I want mic-pass-through for my Karaoke app!, etc..). I'm the same.. for some reason all of my off-the-wall projects seem to involve audio or USB. I think my students quite wrongly summed it up today (they are getting fed-up of my Pi stories).. "If you keep on at your Pi, you'll forget how to program a proper computer!". Sigh.
