[14:26] <jeffmr> Does anyone know if the mbox 3 is supported in ubuntu studio?
[14:37] <OvenWerks> it needs an iLok? yuck
[14:43] <OvenWerks> :) came back and left right after my comment
[14:56] <OvenWerks> jeffmr: it is hard to tell
[14:57] <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
[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <jeffmr> Selectable in QjackCtl but not able to connect.
[15:00] <jeffmr> I think the mbox 2 and 1 are supported through the kernel.
[15:01] <OvenWerks> hang on a sec
[15:01] <OvenWerks> (on phone)
[15:05] <jeffmr> brb
[15:06] <OvenWerks> no controls is ok, a lot of USB devices rely on knobs on the box
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <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
[15:30] <jeffmr_> I don't seem to have that installed on my system.
[15:30] <OvenWerks> that is normally a part of alsa
[15:31] <jeffmr_> Driver alsa for the setting?
[15:32] <jeffmr_> Says D-Bus: Jack server could not be started.
[15:32] <jeffmr_> Could not connect to Jack server as client.
[15:33] <OvenWerks> ah, try killall -9 jackd jackdbus
[15:33] <OvenWerks> then try again
[15:34] <jeffmr_> Says 32 bit. Can I change that/
[15:34] <jeffmr_> ?
[15:34] <OvenWerks> aplay should have come with alsa-utils
[15:35] <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.
[15:36] <jeffmr_> I see.
[15:36] <OvenWerks> so jack has started with your device then?
[15:37] <jeffmr_> No.
[15:37] <jeffmr_> Weird.  Alsa-utils were not installed.
[15:37] <OvenWerks> that is odd for sure
[15:38] <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.
[15:40] <jeffmr_> https://pastebin.com/VdvBigDX
[15:42] <OvenWerks> That doesn't give much info
[15:43] <OvenWerks> just for fun try setting the sample rate to 44100 (if you haven't tried that)
[15:44] <jeffmr_> same.  What is alsa: cannot open pcm device alsa_pcm for playback?
[15:44] <jeffmr_> Is that something I should have installed?
[15:45] <OvenWerks> shouldn't be
[15:47] <OvenWerks> can you play audio through the device with pulse?
[15:47] <OvenWerks> (from the desktop)
[15:48] <OvenWerks> does pavucontrol show it in the Configuration Tab?
[15:49] <jeffmr_> not an option from pulse.  Just has internal speaker.
[15:49] <OvenWerks> And this is a ubuntustudio install?
[15:50] <jeffmr_> I just downloaded it and installed from live usb.
[15:50] <OvenWerks> That does not sound like a full install.
[15:51] <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.
[15:52] <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,
[15:53] <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.
[15:55] <OvenWerks> you should have ubuntustudio-18.04-dvd-amd64.iso I am guessing?
[15:56] <OvenWerks> Ah, so you don't have it anymore.
[15:56] <OvenWerks> still zsync will make sure you have the whole thing
[15:58] <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
[15:59] <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.
[16:26] <jeffmr> OvenWerks, I tried it and it scanned some files and then said press any key to restart.
[16:32] <OvenWerks> I don't know.
[16:32] <OvenWerks> I just know my own install
[16:33] <jeffmr> That's alright.
[16:33] <jeffmr> I'll figure it out.
[16:34] <jeffmr> Thanks for your help.
[16:34] <OvenWerks> no problem
