[Rosegarden-user] A host of Rosegarden sound problems

[thesun <tec...@ya...>]

I'm sorry to post here because I feel like I can't possibly be the ONLY
person having this issue, yet I can't find any exact matches...possibly I'm
just not searching right.  

I have a m-Audio USB midi keyboard and am using jackd, qsynth, and
Rosegarden for music writing and teaching myself some keyboard skills.  I
had all of this working fine on a Fedora 11 computer and now that I have
Fedora 13 on a new system (Quad 4, 64bit, 8GB ram), I'm getting no love.

First problem is that Jack and Qsynth only run if I "su" to root first.  I
don't like running anything as root, and if I'm a normal user I get a whole
litany of errors.  One is that I need to add some "@audio " to limits.conf,
but adding them made no difference.  Only by running from root did it work.  

I'd like to run all of the required things as a regular user if at all
possible.

Second problem is that even when I run everything as root, I don't get any
sound.  I don't get any errors except a very tolerable xrun (2 every 15 mins
or so).  I've tried opening up Patchbay and connecting "things" (I tried
just about every combo I could think of).  And sound works just fine in all
my other apps, so I know it's not a volume/mute issue.

Ideally, I'm hoping someone out there can either offer a quick walkthrough
to fix these errors or else point me to a link that has these resolved.  I
just couldn't find anything that seemed to fit my system and was current
enough to be useful.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
