The way I understand it, this is how ALSA supposedly always works (hogging the audio streams) and JACK should be used if you’re planning on having multiple audio streams at the same time.
The problem here is that JACK works very well in Reaper, but will play back the very same audio file about 15db more quietly than ALSA does.
I’ve currently registered (waiting for approval) an account over at the Cockos forum (Reaper devs) because this 15db volume difference only happens in Reaper.
I’d prefer to use JACK as well on this laptop, as I also use it for Reaper on my desktop, but the 15db volume difference was a real showstopper, until ALSA currently decided to also give up.
