I have a M Audio Transit USB souncard, and have found
a high pitched noise comes out of my speakers when
starting jackd. This noise is not apparent when simply
playing through the device using alsaplayer.
Has anyone else got this? Has anyone else not got this
with their Transit?
In the end I fixed the problem by disabling audio input in my jack startup line. Not sure why this would have been an issue!
Sounds like feedback. Ie, you have the input being fed to the output which
is fed back to the input.


This wasn't the case, there was still noise present with nothing connected to any inputs either physically or in jack. ie. the noise appears as soon as jackd is started.

One of the features of feedback is precisely that the noise is there even with no input. As you know when the microphone squeals, the person does not
need to be talking for the squeal to be there.


For feedback to work you have to have a loop in the system. Can you explain where the loop is in my system as you have baffled me?

Additionally I have to disagree with your statement about feedback with no input. With no input to a positive feedback loop there can be no feedback (in your example the input is ambient noise in the room. )

Best regards,

Chris
