| xSmurf | hey all, I'm trying to get an Edirol FA66 working and not getting much luck | 22:19 |
|---|---|---|
| xSmurf | (to be honest under straight ubuntu not the studio version) | 22:19 |
| xSmurf | is it supposed to just show up in Pulseaudio?? | 22:19 |
| holstein | xSmurf: looks like it works out of the box | 23:36 |
| holstein | http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/12 | 23:36 |
| holstein | probably want to get used to using JACK | 23:36 |
| xSmurf | I'd really rather avoid using jack | 23:36 |
| holstein | http://jackaudio.org/ | 23:36 |
| holstein | xSmurf: cool | 23:36 |
| holstein | good luck with firewire and pulse | 23:36 |
| xSmurf | so the drivers are jack only or should it show up in alsa?? | 23:36 |
| holstein | ive never heard of that, nor cared to try | 23:36 |
| holstein | xSmurf: the driver is the ffado firwire driver | 23:37 |
| xSmurf | yeah I saw that | 23:37 |
| holstein | thats the driver that'll "just work" | 23:37 |
| xSmurf | errr yeah my bad, ffado-mixer now sees the card | 23:37 |
| holstein | yup :) | 23:37 |
| holstein | not sure what is going on | 23:40 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975640 | 23:40 |
| holstein | ^^ makes me think you need JACK to use the FFADO driver and communicate with pulse | 23:41 |
| holstein | try #opensourcemusicians | 23:41 |
| xSmurf | yeah all I see now indicates that | 23:42 |
| xSmurf | or indicates no one took the time to write drivers for alsa or pulse :/ | 23:42 |
| holstein | yeah, and why bother? | 23:42 |
| holstein | i mean, for comsumer level work, you wont know the difference | 23:42 |
| holstein | i think most assume you would want JACK | 23:42 |
| holstein | OR, you'll just be playing mp3's ;) | 23:43 |
| xSmurf | depends what your needs are | 23:43 |
| xSmurf | I don't need JACK and I need super clean audio IOs | 23:43 |
| xSmurf | I do radio stuff, nothing to do with music | 23:43 |
| holstein | sure... but, if you need clean balanced in's, i think its safe to assume you want to route to something other than pulse | 23:43 |
| xSmurf | why so? | 23:43 |
| holstein | other than getting out of the box | 23:43 |
| holstein | i mean... you get a nice clean signal for a balanced input to skype? | 23:43 |
| xSmurf | to GNURadio... | 23:43 |
| holstein | i guess thats plausible | 23:43 |
| holstein | they dont support JACK? | 23:44 |
| holstein | you can do pulse to JACK easy enough | 23:44 |
| xSmurf | they might | 23:44 |
| xSmurf | but I don't need jack... | 23:45 |
| holstein | sure | 23:45 |
| xSmurf | anyway | 23:45 |
| holstein | i agrue that you dont need that edirol | 23:45 |
| holstein | BUT | 23:45 |
| holstein | you should be able to use it as you want | 23:45 |
| xSmurf | I have my answer, I hope someday someone will take the time to write native drivers for alsa or pulse and I'll be a happy camper | 23:45 |
| holstein | its just going to be while til those alsa firewire drivers get working... AGAIK | 23:45 |
| holstein | AFAIK* | 23:45 |
| xSmurf | holstein: what would I use instead?? | 23:46 |
| holstein | the internal card? | 23:46 |
| xSmurf | haha | 23:46 |
| holstein | anything | 23:46 |
| holstein | whatever you got | 23:46 |
| xSmurf | I'm doing signal analysis... | 23:46 |
| xSmurf | internal cards are full of noise, horrible | 23:46 |
| holstein | i do not understand why you would not want JACK for that... but to each his/her own | 23:46 |
| holstein | seems like just the thing | 23:46 |
| xSmurf | but I'm not using it right now and I'm very happy without it | 23:47 |
| xSmurf | (when using the shitty internal sound card) | 23:47 |
| xSmurf | pulse does all I need it to | 23:47 |
| xSmurf | except support for a proper audio device | 23:47 |
| xSmurf | pulse is out of the box, so that's nice | 23:47 |
| holstein | alsa does not yet support your device | 23:47 |
| holstein | JACK is 'out of the box' as well | 23:47 |
| holstein | KXstudio was a distro that had it running at login | 23:48 |
| holstein | now,the dev just gives us PPA's for ubuntu | 23:48 |
| holstein | anyways... those drivers are coming | 23:49 |
| xSmurf | as I mentioned, I'm not running ubuntustudio, I just figured (rightly) you guys would be the most informed on the topic | 23:49 |
| xSmurf | well, good to know :) | 23:49 |
| xSmurf | count me in for the list of people who actually want those :p | 23:49 |
| xSmurf | (to each is own ;) | 23:49 |
| holstein | https://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/articles/o/u/t/Out-of-tree_Kernel_Drivers_7ef1.html | 23:50 |
| xSmurf | interesting | 23:53 |
| xSmurf | fireworks, an audio driver with ALSA interface for Echo Audio, Gibson, and Mackie Onyx FireWire devices, currently in development | 23:53 |
| xSmurf | no edirol though | 23:53 |
| xSmurf | oh well | 23:53 |
| xSmurf | to be fair the card is not even mine so very little fuck is given ;) | 23:53 |
| xSmurf | but would have been nice to borrow | 23:53 |
