I have tried to set up the audio on my Debian linux computer in order that I can use ardour and get sound from/to that, and still be able to watch youtube videos etc. on Firefox. I have installed cadence in order to get this working, after reading that that was a simple way of doing it. Audio works fine for Ardour when I start Ardour (and it starts jack for me), but that doesn't start cadence so no bridging occurs from pulse audio to Jack so I can't here anything from any software that doesn't directly use jack, ie Firefox. However if I try and start cadence first no audio can be heard at all from anything, not even ardour, unless I stop jack from inside cadence and let ardour start it itself leading back to my initial problem. My question is firstly, what tests can I do to help you locate the exact issue? Secondly how would you recommend going about this, in order to achieve what I wanted using cadence (as that is what I have started doing so might as well continue if I can) ? Thirdly if using cadence means that I always have to start it manually rather than have it automated whenever a program tried to start jack (as ardour does), is there another reasonably easy was of doing this (or easier way if I have chosen and overly complex route). Thanks in advance, and sorry for the lack of test results in this initial post.

HOWEVER THINGS I HAVE TESTED: lsmod | grep audio And Lspci | grep audio Do nothing, however Sudo aplay - l Shows my sound card as expected.

Alsamixer is not muted in anyway.

As far as I can tell (in my n00bishness) I would say that I am more likely to have installed too much stuff that has ended up competing rather than not having enough...who knows how I will manage to remove all the stuff I don't actually need afterwards!

Thanks in advance for your time and effort :)
