[14:00] <caodepalha> does anyone know how to get the line 6 gx tone direct soundcard working on ubuntustudio? the gx soundcard appears on the settings but still i can hear any sounds...
[14:11] <holstein> caodepalha: ideally, line6 would officially support linux, and you could ask them

[14:11] <holstein> ^^ i would try just normal audio troubleshooting.. what i would do would look something like this...
[14:13] <holstein> plug it in to the machine directly, not in a USB hub.. i would try and determine IRQ sharing issues if needed by looking at (in a terminal) "cat /proc/interrupts"
[14:14] <holstein> then, i would try "aplay -l" and "arecord -l" and maybe "lsusb" to see that the operating system and alsa are able to see the device and is at least trying to provide a driver
[14:14] <holstein> then,, i would just fire up qjackctl, and select *all* possible devices there (from both dropdown menus)
[14:15] <holstein> sometimes, there can be 6 or 8 combinations to try there, and if im worried or concerned about messing up my current installation, i'll use a live CD to test the actual device with JACK via qjackctl
[14:15] <holstein> if its an option, i will disable the onboard sound card in the bios
[14:16] <holstein> then, i would move on from there, if i cant get the device working.. i would search "ubuntu the exact model" and "debian the exact model" and "linux the exact model" and see if i can find literally anyone using theis device in any way with any distro
