| jujudusud | Hi everyone. I'm a French LinuxMAO.org helper for french Linux and MAO users. I have a question of someone who wanted to use his EDIROL FA-66 (FireWire) and I don't know what to tell with the new 24.04 Pipewire Ubuntustudio. Can anyone help ? | 19:15 |
|---|---|---|
| Eickmeyer | jujudusud: We don't know either (I don't have FireWire hardware to test, and I'm the lead). I'd check with #pipewire on OFTL. | 19:17 |
| jujudusud | Hello Erich, Yes I know who you are. Thanks for this fast response. I think I can tell him to install pipewire-ffado. | 19:18 |
| Eickmeyer | jujudusud: We don't have any such package. It should be part of the standard installed pipewire stack. | 19:19 |
| jujudusud | I'm actually telling him to see if ALSA sees his card. | 19:20 |
| jujudusud | Ok, I use archlinux on my side and I don't really know exactly the names of Ubuntu's packages. I will check just now ! | 19:21 |
| Eickmeyer | Right. So, in Ubuntu/Debian land, if it's not a package on its own, it's part of the all-encompassing default stack. | 19:21 |
| jujudusud | Like a meta package ? | 19:22 |
| jujudusud | Ok I have the list here: https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/24.04/ubuntu-main-amd64/5/ | 19:24 |
| Eickmeyer | More like https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pipewire/1.0.5-1ubuntu1 to be more atomic | 19:25 |
| jujudusud | Thanks! | 19:25 |
| jujudusud | Ok, so you don't have omething like : https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pipewire-ffado/ | 19:29 |
| jujudusud | usr/lib/pipewire-0.3/libpipewire-module-ffado-driver.so | 19:29 |
| Eickmeyer | Apparently not. The packaging is all done upstream in Debian. | 19:33 |
| Eickmeyer | jujudusud: The file you referenced is in libpipewire-0.3-modules, which is installed by default. | 19:34 |
| Eickmeyer | Actually, I take that back. It's referenced in a manpage. | 19:36 |
| Eickmeyer | Debian never packaged it. 🤦 TIL | 19:36 |
| jujudusud | Ok, thanks a lot! Can you tell me if there is a 'ffado' or 'libffado' package in order to make those cards to work ? | 19:37 |
| jujudusud | I think it should be possible with JACK. | 19:38 |
| Eickmeyer | There is, and it's installed by default, it just doesn't work with PipeWire. One can go into Ubuntu Studio Audio Config and disable the PipeWire-JACK module to run JACK natively. From there JACK2 can be run in lieu of the PipeWire-JACK setup. | 19:39 |
| Eickmeyer | https://ubuntustudio.org/audio-configuration/ | 19:39 |
| jujudusud | Yes, I read this already. Thanks for the work you did with your team! | 19:42 |
| jujudusud | The new tools are awesome in my opinion. Thanks for that. | 19:43 |
| Eickmeyer | Quite welcome! | 19:43 |
| jujudusud | Ubuntu Studio Audio Configuration and Ubuntu Studio Installer | 19:43 |
| Eickmeyer | Planning on combining them into one tool in the future, probably for 25.04. | 19:44 |
| jujudusud | Ok Thanks Erich, I will tell him to to use JACK2 and FFADO for now for his Edirol card. | 19:45 |
| jujudusud | Nice plan for 25.04! Which you and your team all the best! | 19:46 |
| Eickmeyer | That's probably the best way to go. FireWire is great, but it's really antique technology at this point. Everything is moving to USB and Thunderbolt. | 19:46 |
| jujudusud | Yes you are right! Linux French users are a little bit "nostalgic". Lol. | 19:47 |
