Jack seems to hog the audio control and youtube won't work while its running, kind of annoying — nick fox. I agree here. Jack's what's going to be important for lmms. You'll need it.

Write guides and how-tos about LMMS for other members. If you don't hear any sound or if you hear distorted sound with LMMS, here's a walkthrough that will maybe solve it. It worked for me. Follow those steps : 1. Write "dxdiag" and push "ok" or press Enter. A window will appaear. Now click in the "sound 3" tab.

Look at the right of the window : there's information about the driver. Look at driver's name and write this name on a paper or keep the window open until walkthrough's end you will need to write this name back later. Now start LMMS. Go in the "Edit" tab. Click on "configuration and go in audio configuration. Then, under "settings for SDL", write the driver's name The name you had to remind about during the step 4.

Then restart your LMMS and check if this worked. If this solved, it's ok. If this is still not solved, come back to the step 3 and try to get driver's name from sound 1 or sound 2 tab instead of sound 3. I personnaly had that problem and this walkthrough solved my problem.

Thank you so much! It works now! No problem dude By the way I want to say something : when I found this trick the current version of lmms was there version Current one is 12 so I think this trick must still work but if it doesn't work anymore maybe it's due to this!
