| SarahPi | Hi! I've been searching for days to no avail. This is my last ditch attempt. Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to use an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra on Natty Narwhal? The device is recognised, but I can only access audio outs. I have no midi, or audio ins. | 15:46 |
| holstein | SarahPi: sure | 16:30 |
| holstein | check out #opensourcemusicians | 16:30 |
| holstein | i usually suggest disabling the other card/cards in the bios if possible just to make things simpler | 16:31 |
| holstein | in JACK, there are 2 drop down menus... in qjackctl.. i usually suggest ( for troubleshooting) running.. | 16:31 |
| holstein | gksudo qjackctl | 16:31 |
| holstein | in that GUI, if you can get jack to start, and ue your deivce, then all other issues you would run into would likely be permissions issues | 16:32 |
| holstein | if JACK is overkill, try installing the package "pavucontrol" for somewhat similar routing using pulse | 16:33 |
| holstein | our ubuntustudio 12.04 iso can be use live now, so feel free to check that out for tweaking troubleshooting purposes | 16:33 |
| holstein | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/current/ | 16:34 |
| SarahPi | Thankyou very much. I will give that a shot. | 16:35 |
| holstein | SarahPi: as a rule, if you run this command in the terminal | 16:36 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 16:36 |
| holstein | and you see your device, JACK *should* be able to use it | 16:36 |
| holstein | firewire (which is what i use) is a different story | 16:37 |
| holstein | you can also have problems with IRQ settings.. those can be checked by running "cat /proc/interrupts" withouth the quotes of course | 16:37 |
| holstein | if you have your soundcard, and something like an external mouse on the same IRQ, you can expect issues | 16:38 |
| holstein | personally, i consider USB audio to be sub-par, and only use it for stereo information | 16:39 |
| SarahPi | aplay -l is reporting my device, but Jack is telling me "JackAudioDriver::ProcessAsync: read error, skip cycle | 16:39 |
| SarahPi | JackPosixMutex::Unlock res = 1" over and over | 16:39 |
| holstein | SarahPi: you might need to read about configuring JACK | 16:40 |
| holstein | i usually suggest literally opening a terminal and issueing this command | 16:40 |
| holstein | gksudo qjackctl | 16:40 |
| holstein | then, trying to get JACK running with the internal sound card | 16:40 |
| holstein | you can try unticking the "realtime" check box, though, that shouldnt cause JACK to fail anymore (as of 11.10) | 16:41 |
| holstein | you can try "force 16bit" | 16:41 |
| holstein | you can ask in that channel i suggested where several folks are actually using that device with ubuntu and other distros | 16:41 |
| holstein | running JACK as root is *not* something you want to do casually, or all the time, but it takes the permissions errors out of the equations | 16:42 |
| holstein | its usually as simple as "sudo adduser 'username' audio" | 16:42 |
| SarahPi | I'll read up on that. Internal card seems to be working fine. Should I not try using the MAudio as root? | 16:42 |
| holstein | i try using JACK as root... as a troubleshooting stop | 16:43 |
| holstein | step* | 16:43 |
| holstein | if it runs as root, and not as a normal user, you can stop fiddling with the JACK config | 16:43 |
| holstein | and cables | 16:43 |
| holstein | you *know* its permissions, ans can start fiddling with user permissions | 16:43 |
| holstein | and* | 16:44 |
| holstein | good luck!.. gotta run | 16:44 |
| SarahPi | Ok. It's not permissions. Same problems. Thanks. I'll do some reading. Really appreciate the help | 16:45 |
| jansen | hey guys im looking for help! i have an lubuntu machine and a N300 Belkin wireless stick.. And i now use ndiswrapper for my connection but everytime i reboot.. the driver fails and he doesnt detect the stick and i cant do anything but reinstall the driver and then it works again gently.. anyone got an idea to make this go smoothly'er? | 17:46 |

| jansen | very weird indeed | 17:49 |
| jansen | he just doesnt detect it anymore.. | 17:49 |
| bioterror | I have to say that I have zero experience with ndiswrapper, never had to use it | 17:49 |
| oCean | jansen: 1st, Don't crosspost in multiple channels. 2nd, don't use enter as punctuation | 17:49 |
| jansen | :x | 17:49 |
| jansen | I'm sorry, anyone here who can help me? =) | 17:50 |
| Unit193 | All I can say is "I think ndiswrapper has a GUI that might help". | 17:51 |
| Unit193 | !ndiswrapper|And this.. | 17:51 |
| ubot2 | And this..: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 17:51 |
