Thanks Ubuntustudio you do not have to fight thru the installation-hassles of optimized systemcomponents so you can start right away with 1.: qjackctl Start it, set up the parameters for jack and start up jack. Allways have an eye on the Mixerapp for you soundchip and if this one does not work OK get a USB-card as Mark recommends - most of them should work OK. 2.: Control the ports qjackctl has a panel called Connections it shows you any source of signal jack has to offer and inputs, to wich yo can connect those to. Think of those ports and connections as of virtual sockets, jacks and cables. 3.: Make you first Recording For your needs there s nothing better then Ardour. If you start it up use a template to create a new session and in the session the Window/Connections-Menue of Ardour to connect the first track to alsa_pcm_capture if it not is already and set the track to record(the little red button in its head) Now you DAW is hot - you should hear your guitar if it is connected to the input of your soundchip. Hit record then play in Ardours Drivecontrol left upper corner and your playing gets recorded :-) and maybe play around with drum beats later on Start up Hydrogen and connect its output to another rack in Ardour (yes - - you can connect software as well as soundcards seperately with jack to whatever ports you want :-) ) Using Rosegarden is an Option also - here you have much less possibilities to cut/arrange wave-recrdings but you can have MIDI-Tracks for Drums/Bass/Synths/Ochestra/Godzillanoise etc directly parallel to your wavetracks - much more comfortable if it comes to compose scores for MIDI-Instruments... pretty new to this but a great interest of mine to write and record my own music. Go for it ! :-) LinxAudio has everything in store for this and you can see it grow with good speed - have some passion and patience and you will get real far with it :-) good luck HZN -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHAgE11Aecwva1SWMRAjBiAJ0fcMvGUckiu0yqJ372eJeTLMSMfACdFiss bLaLxlON7qHG3AA4vLtOARo= =ecey -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

Susan Hi Susan, I have a layla20. I found that the firmware was missing from ALSA in Ubuntu Studio Feisty with some other things. This was fixed by downloading the latest ALSA and rebuilding. This would include: Alsa-drivers Alsa-firmware Alsa-libs Alsa-utils Extract each of the above to separate directories and then enter alsa drivers for example and begin there with ./configure, make, make install - to install each portion of ALSA. When installing ALSA drivers, include the sound card as follows: $sudo ./configure --with-card=layla20 This makes sure to compile the driver for your soundcard which may be different than 'layla20', also note that the card name is 'layla20' and not 'snd-layla20'. You can put multiple cards on that line seperated by commas. For example ./configure --with- card=layla20,usb-audio After the install try modprobing the layla20 driver: $modprobe snd-layla20 If you get no response to the command it is probably working. Try the aplay -l command to list playback devices and see if the card is there. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and set the index of the layla20 to 0. This makes it the default device for the system. You can see various other lines in there with =1 etc. Here, refer to your device as 'snd-layla20' for example. Then reboot. If your echoaudio card has spdif, remember that to access this you should use hw:0,1 in various software and dialogs to specify the digital device on the soundcard. For example in qjackctl. hw(0,0) would be the analog devices. Ubuntu Studio also comes with a nice app called echomixer that can be run from a terminal.

Jonathan -- thank you. Instructions worked substituting indigoio for
your cardname.
However, I have a problem editing alsa-base to set the index to 0.
Should I put it at the top of the options list near the end?
Susan
I would keep my own section after the options.
For example:
#Load my fricken layla you maniacs!
options snd-layla20 index=0
Then crosscheck to make sure nothing conflicts with that
setting...Make sure only one device is given the value 0, and that
the device reference is also unique. Remember to reboot for the
changes to take affect.
I can't help expressing curiosity for how the -2 for the caiaq driver
got there as I don't recall the default alsa-base file having a
reference to this at all. I thought alsa-base came from Ubuntu
Studio, not alsa.
Hope this helps!

Hi Susan, I have a layla20. I found that the firmware was missing
from ALSA in Ubuntu Studio Feisty with some other things. This was
fixed by downloading the latest ALSA and rebuilding.
This would include:
Alsa-drivers
Alsa-firmware
Alsa-libs
Alsa-utils
Extract each of the above to separate directories and then enter
alsa drivers for example and begin there with ./configure, make,
make
install - to install each portion of ALSA.
When installing ALSA drivers, include the sound card as follows:
$sudo ./configure --with-card=layla20
This makes sure to compile the driver for your soundcard which may
be different than 'layla20', also note that the card name is
'layla20' and not 'snd-layla20'. You can put multiple cards on that
line seperated by commas. For example ./configure --with-
card=layla20,usb-audio
After the install try modprobing the layla20 driver:
$modprobe snd-layla20
If you get no response to the command it is probably working.
Try the aplay -l command to list playback devices and see if the
card is there.
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and set the index of the
layla20 to
0. This makes it the default device for the system. You can see
various other lines in there with =1 etc. Here, refer to your
device
as 'snd-layla20' for example. Then reboot.
