jack says device is in use, but I find no process using it

#1 Post by babcat »

Hello guys, Debian 9 here, with some Sid in it. After an upgrade, jackd won't start.

Here is my study:

Code: Select all

baba@debian:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [M1010LT        ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 1010LT
                      M Audio Delta 1010LT at 0xbc00, irq 22
 1 [Loopback       ]: Loopback - Loopback
                      Loopback 1

Code: Select all

baba@debian:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: M1010LT [M Audio Delta 1010LT], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Loopback [Loopback], device 0: Loopback PCM [Loopback PCM]
  Subdevices: 8/8
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
  Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
  Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
  Subdevice #4: subdevice #4
  Subdevice #5: subdevice #5
  Subdevice #6: subdevice #6
  Subdevice #7: subdevice #7
card 1: Loopback [Loopback], device 1: Loopback PCM [Loopback PCM]
  Subdevices: 8/8
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
  Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
  Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
  Subdevice #4: subdevice #4
  Subdevice #5: subdevice #5
  Subdevice #6: subdevice #6

weird, I see no process holding the audio card:

Code: Select all

baba@debian:~$ ps -aux |grep audio
baba     13363  0.0  0.0   7860   748 pts/5    S+   19:51   0:00 grep audio

Code: Select all

baba@debian:~$ fuser /dev/snd/pcm*
baba@debian:~$ 
Could it be this root process?

Code: Select all

baba@debian:~$ ps -aux |grep snd
root       309  0.1  0.0      0     0 ?        S    16:53   0:19 [irq/22-snd_ice1]
baba     13367  0.0  0.0   7860   744 pts/5    S+   19:51   0:00 grep snd
Any process in init.d/?
Otherwise, aplay works fine, and I also reinstalled jackd and jackd2 but the issue remains the same.

thanks in advance... Yannis Stathopoulos

You have broken your system.

Re-install Debian stable and don't add sid this time, it tends to break regularly.

mixed system not supported - when it breaks you get to keep all the parts
