There is no box for that as such. Rosegarden isn't starting jackd so much as the JACK API is starting jackd. I misremember the technical details, but basically we made a minor change to use a different API call, and now the audio server starts itself when Rosegarden does if it's not already running. This is basically a good thing, since it starts Rosegarden with all of its features enabled by default. There isn't any neat way to disable this. The workaround is to edit your ~/.jackdrc and just put some garbage in there whenever you don't want JACK to start. For example, you had: /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:2 -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -S Change to something like: foo/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:2 -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -S Since foo/usr/bin/jackd is an invalid path, it will fail, and no more audio server. I suppose we could consider making some config option that would prevent Rosegarden from even attempting to start JACK, but I'd really rather not bother unless there is a lot of demand. It's just one more confusing configuration option for people to misunderstand, one more thing for everybody to have to translate, and one more thing for users to forget they changed, so we have to ask what this setting is when they come along one day complaining that audio is broken, six months after the last time they tinkered around with their settings. I'd really rather not, but I'm not giving a firm no for an answer. -- D. Michael McIntyre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WINDOWS 8 is here.
