No Sound for zynaddsubfx

I believe I am supposed to start jackd before zynaddsubfx. I haven't the slightest clue how to, I scanned a big chunk of the internet and couldn't find anything

Thank you

Re: No Sound for zynaddsubfx

It's not necessary to start jack - are you sure your zynaddsubfx settings are OK?

ERROR: Cannot make a jack client (possible reasons: JACK server is not running or jackd is launched by root and zynaddsubfx by another user.).

Using OSS instead.
