presonus firepod problems

2009-12-08 Thread Iain Duncan
Hi folks, apologies for cross post, not sure where is best bet. I have a
Presonus Firepod, and have just setup Ubuntu studio 9.10 on a gigabyte p55
mobo. I have had no luck getting my firepod working yet and am starting to
wonder if it's the firepod itself. Can anyone tell me what exactly is
supposed to happen with one when you plug it in and turn it on? On my mac,
the light would turn blue. When I turn it on now, the light turns blue
during power up, then goes back to red, with a brief blue blink. I don't see
any entry in /dev for  /dev/raw1394.

Any tips on diagnosing this much appreciated!

thanks
iain

Re: disabling pulse audio in 9.10?

2009-12-08 Thread Iain Duncan
Thanks, I was going to switch to xfce actually, thought I'll keep gnome on
there too for ohter purposes. Does the pulse daemon just plain not get used
by xfce?

thanks
Iain

 Hi, Iain!

 My setup

 1. Switch off /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/sound/active in
 gconf-editor

 2. Switch off Gnome sounding at all in gnome-volume-control(I believe so)

 3. Create file ~/.pulse/client.conf consists of
 autospawn=no

 4. killall -KILL pulseaudio

 5. start jackd with qjackctl

 Alternative way: install xubuntu over ubuntustudio and use xfce
 instead Gnome :)))

Re: [LAU] presonus firepod problems

2009-12-08 Thread Iain Duncan
Thanks Harmut! A few questions:

- so the blue light will not turn blue again until jack is running with
freebob?
- should /dev/raw1394 appear as soon as I turn it on/plug it in? ( It's not
doing that, though it appears if I modprobe raw1394 )
- is the firewire driver freebob or FFADO?
- where is this ub

 You need to start jackd with the firewire-driver it is easy with qjackctl.
 Check with UbuntuStudiocontrol that you have firewire (IEEE1394)
 accessable for group audio.
 The firepod is well supported, once jackd is running, you`ll see the
 blue light again ;-)
