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