| jeffmr | Does anyone know if the mbox 3 is supported in ubuntu studio? | 14:26 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | it needs an iLok? yuck | 14:37 |
| OvenWerks | :) came back and left right after my comment | 14:43 |
| OvenWerks | jeffmr: it is hard to tell | 14:56 |
| OvenWerks | but the "requires extra USB port for iLok" would make me look for something else | 14:57 |
| OvenWerks | (though that may be for the included software | 14:57 |
| jeffmr | Its just for the software. | 14:58 |
| OvenWerks | It does say USB2.0, which should just work... but personally I would not support any company that uses iLok :) | 14:58 |
| jeffmr | Yeah, a lot about Avid stinks. | 14:58 |
| OvenWerks | If you have the unit, just plug it in and try | 14:59 |
| jeffmr | I have | 14:59 |
| jeffmr | Alsa recognizes it but says there are no controls. | 14:59 |
| jeffmr | Not selectable through the sound control panel | 14:59 |
| jeffmr | Selectable in QjackCtl but not able to connect. | 15:00 |
| jeffmr | I think the mbox 2 and 1 are supported through the kernel. | 15:00 |
| OvenWerks | hang on a sec | 15:01 |
| OvenWerks | (on phone) | 15:01 |
| jeffmr | brb | 15:05 |
| OvenWerks | no controls is ok, a lot of USB devices rely on knobs on the box | 15:06 |
| === jeffmr_ is now known as jeffmr | ||
| OvenWerks | jeffmr_: a lot of USB devices don't show controls in ALSA, if jack can't connect it may mean that a change in settings would help | 15:28 |
| jeffmr_ | Do you know what aplayer is? | 15:29 |
| OvenWerks | make sure it works with 48000 1024 2 first | 15:29 |
| OvenWerks | ya, that will pipe a sound file to an alsa device | 15:29 |
| jeffmr_ | I don't seem to have that installed on my system. | 15:30 |
| OvenWerks | that is normally a part of alsa | 15:30 |
| jeffmr_ | Driver alsa for the setting? | 15:31 |
| jeffmr_ | Says D-Bus: Jack server could not be started. | 15:32 |
| jeffmr_ | Could not connect to Jack server as client. | 15:32 |
| OvenWerks | ah, try killall -9 jackd jackdbus | 15:33 |
| OvenWerks | then try again | 15:33 |
| jeffmr_ | Says 32 bit. Can I change that/ | 15:34 |
| jeffmr_ | ? | 15:34 |
| OvenWerks | aplay should have come with alsa-utils | 15:34 |
| OvenWerks | why would you want to change that? | 15:35 |
| jeffmr_ | no process found for the killall. | 15:35 |
| jeffmr_ | Yeah, I'm surprised about that. | 15:35 |
| jeffmr_ | I thought that maybe 24 bit was the maximum the box supported. | 15:35 |
| OvenWerks | USB 2.0 normally means 24 bit so 24 switched to 32 bit float means the same bit depth. | 15:35 |
| jeffmr_ | I see. | 15:36 |
| OvenWerks | so jack has started with your device then? | 15:36 |
| jeffmr_ | No. | 15:37 |
| jeffmr_ | Weird. Alsa-utils were not installed. | 15:37 |
| OvenWerks | that is odd for sure | 15:37 |
| OvenWerks | if you are using qjackctl there is a messages window, what does it say when you try to start jack | 15:38 |
| jeffmr_ | Just a sec. | 15:38 |
| jeffmr_ | https://pastebin.com/VdvBigDX | 15:40 |
| OvenWerks | That doesn't give much info | 15:42 |
| OvenWerks | just for fun try setting the sample rate to 44100 (if you haven't tried that) | 15:43 |
| jeffmr_ | same. What is alsa: cannot open pcm device alsa_pcm for playback? | 15:44 |
| jeffmr_ | Is that something I should have installed? | 15:44 |
| OvenWerks | shouldn't be | 15:45 |
| OvenWerks | can you play audio through the device with pulse? | 15:47 |
| OvenWerks | (from the desktop) | 15:47 |
| OvenWerks | does pavucontrol show it in the Configuration Tab? | 15:48 |
| jeffmr_ | not an option from pulse. Just has internal speaker. | 15:49 |
| OvenWerks | And this is a ubuntustudio install? | 15:49 |
| jeffmr_ | I just downloaded it and installed from live usb. | 15:50 |
| OvenWerks | That does not sound like a full install. | 15:50 |
| jeffmr_ | I installed everything and it updated everything. | 15:51 |
| OvenWerks | Studio would have come with alsa-utils for sure, I am wondering if the ISO is not right. | 15:51 |
| jeffmr_ | My bios was set to uefi and then it complained about not being able to boot. So, I switched it to bios. | 15:51 |
| OvenWerks | I use bios | 15:51 |
| jeffmr_ | Could be. | 15:51 |
| jeffmr_ | I never did the checksum thing. | 15:52 |
| OvenWerks | maybe install zsync | 15:52 |
| OvenWerks | then in the directory where you have the iso file, | 15:52 |
| OvenWerks | (I am going to have to look this up ) | 15:53 |
| jeffmr_ | That's ok. | 15:53 |
| jeffmr_ | It was on my last install. Just have it on usb now. | 15:53 |
| jeffmr_ | I overwrote it. | 15:53 |
| OvenWerks | you should have ubuntustudio-18.04-dvd-amd64.iso I am guessing? | 15:55 |
| OvenWerks | Ah, so you don't have it anymore. | 15:56 |
| OvenWerks | still zsync will make sure you have the whole thing | 15:56 |
| OvenWerks | zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/bionic/release/ubuntustudio-18.04-dvd-amd64.iso | 15:58 |
| OvenWerks | will download and check the checksum all in one | 15:58 |
| jeffmr_ | Ok. | 15:58 |
| jeffmr_ | zsync installed | 15:58 |
| OvenWerks | I think with the usb stick there is an option at boot to check the ISO as well | 15:59 |
| jeffmr_ | Ok. I'll give it a try. | 15:59 |
| jeffmr | OvenWerks, I tried it and it scanned some files and then said press any key to restart. | 16:26 |
| OvenWerks | I don't know. | 16:32 |
| OvenWerks | I just know my own install | 16:32 |
| jeffmr | That's alright. | 16:33 |
| jeffmr | I'll figure it out. | 16:33 |
| jeffmr | Thanks for your help. | 16:34 |
| OvenWerks | no problem | 16:34 |
