what about the jack server? was it started, up and running?
No. I don't use JACK (i find it way too obscure and cumbersome - never works without fiddling around). I read the "and/or" in the error message such that either JACK or ALSA (or both) can be used, am I misreading it?
Otherwise, I think the message should be rewritten as
The audio/MIDI engine could not be started. Make sure the JACK audio server (jackd) and the ALSA Sequencer kernel module (snd-seq-midi) are up and running and then restart the session
(without the "/or")
both are needed: 1) jack-server sure needs to be up and running; 2) the alsa-seq kernel module has to be loaded (it usually is on system boot).
but ok, fair enough I reckon it's an English language nitpicking issue ;)

and then restarted Qtractor, this did not resolve the issue for me.
it would be nice if the dialog box would be a bit more verbose, telling me exactly what to do.
