  1. see IRQ in /proc/interrupts
  2. use HPET as system clock source

 I'm using HPET when ever possible. Note that HPET is very problematic,
 you'll run out of free HPET devices very soon. IMO at the moment it only
 can be used as alsa seq timer, if you try using it with Jack, you are
 limited to the HPET devices that are available, each application needs
 it's own HPET device.

 If you should use Jack1, than try Jack2. On my machine Jack1 never
 worked.

 To enable HR-timer/HPET run

sudo chgrp audio /dev/hpet
sudo chmod g+rw /dev/hpet
sudo modprobe snd-hrtimer

 $ jackd --help
   [ --clocksource OR -c [ c(ycle) | h(pet) | s(ystem) ]

Re: diagnostic tools to trace the reason xruns are happening?

2011-06-05 Thread Robert Klaar
What happens if you set the frames/period settings higher? I have similar
setup and can't get it to run on any lower than 1024 frames(if I want to
avoid xruns), but then I've set the sample rate to 48000. I've never noticed
any problems with the latency, it's at 46 or something now but I can't hear
any difference between this and something lower, can you? .)

Best,
Robert

 Hi all,

 since recently I'm experiencing more xruns in ubuntustudio 11.04, more
 specifically using the lowlatency kernel. My audiocard is an external one,
 firewire, and I use the firewire driver. They just started happening out of
 the blue, without changing anything significantly. These xruns happen
 randomly, not caused by anything I do on the desktop. When I keep qjackctl
 running without any audio apps open, now and then, about each half hour, or
 20 minutes, there is an xrun.

 My limits.conf file seems to be as described on the wiki's over the web, I
 have 4 GB or ram, a duocore processor.. I see no reason for problems.
 I've got a latency of 17.4 msec, with a setting of 256 Frames/Perios,
 Sample Rate of 44100, and 3 Periods/Buffer. So far this was the most stable
 setup, though I'm sure I should be able to go to 128 Frames/Period with my
 AudioFire12. But I can't, more xruns happen when using this setting. Setting
 the samplerate higher I get more xruns too. I'd love to record on 96000, or
 even 192000, which is possible with the audiocard, but the computer system
 prevents this because of these xruns.

 This does make it unreliable for recording, which I want to do more
 regularly and it makes me impossible to do recordings for others. I do not
 want a system where I have to ask people to start playing again for the
 recording because xruns.

 So, I was wondering, are there diagnostic tools, test scrips, tracing tools
 to get me to the bottom of this?

 Grtz,
 Bart

 Hi Robert!

 I have a question about this statement...Why do you think XFCE is
 outdated?

 I think XFCE can look *quite* nice.  I've quickly found and linked a screen
 shot to demonstrate. [1]


I wouldn't say that Xfce is outdated, I was just trying to say that the
concept might be outdated and that a change like this in my opinion seems
pretty ok, to me it seems like Gnome 3 is getting a lot of heat for nothing,
most things still seems to be avaliable, but I'm not using things like
applets either so maybe I'm missing something that's vital to some.


 I'm not sure I agree with your assertion about disrupting a serious
 producer/artist however.  Just changing the UI to the point where a person's
 comfortable and favoured workflow will not work would cause quite a
 reaction.  I don't want to imagine the reaction if we switched to something
 that was buggy where we lost functionality or it crashed often.


Yes, but I don't think that's going to be the case. However this might
depend on what kind of user you are and again this should be based on what
users US is trying to attract. Personally I would say that I'm somewhat in
between, I've been using linux on and of since 2005 and I know my way around
it, but I'm also more of an artist really than a programmer and find that
many times these two collide. Say, I'm setting up my connections for jack
and get really technical about this stuff, I like to get it to run smoothly,
connect stuff via. jackeq so that I can have individual volume controls
between say a sampler and my web-browser, all this is nice but has nothing
to do with me actually making any music. These examples aren't really
problems but say perhaps that I need to get an rt-kernel installed because
my computer is to slow , in theory this is simple and mostly it is but from
experience I seem to encounter at least a dozen of problems related to
something in my music-making chain of programs. My geeky side doesn't mind
fixing these issues but at the same time they take away a lot of time that
could be spent making music.

But that's me, and then we have those who like to get very technical(maybe
your average Linux user perhaps) that spend decades configuring and
customizing, and to them it's not so much about making music/art as to the
many ways it can be made. However, I think most artists is neither of the
above. What these people wan't is to have something that looks nice and
inspiring, something that's stable and something that's pretty advanced so
that they can focus on their music/art instead of having to spend a day
configuring first.

And this, I think, is the direction Ubuntu and US HAS been taking for the
past year at least, and I do like this a lot as I'm sure others of the above
group do as well. This was also something that I felt had been taken further
when testing Gnome 3 and I think reverting to Xfce would be, in this sense,
taking a step back. I think US has become more than just a system for people
with lot's of knowledge in linux, computers in general and who think that
people that use A.) Macs are hipsters B.) Windows are stupid.

But I guess this is all about who we're trying to reach and if we're not
trying to attract these people but people who're already used to Linux and
ALSO like to make music/other forms of art then maybe switching to Xfce is
exactly what's best.

Best,
Robert K

  Hi Scott,
 Your opinions are noted and they are valid. I never claimed that XFCE was

 good - just that I had never used it and there were probably good reasons
 why it was second best to Gnome2.


 I assure you and everyone who has reservations towards XFCE: it is quite
 the same as Gnome2 and can be configured to mimic it near to 99%. It even
 offers some features, Gnome has dropped like switching Desktops with the
 mouse wheel on any place on the desktop and some more options for
 configuration.
 I use Gnome in Ubuntu and XFCE on Fedora on a dayly basis and I hardly
 notice the differnces (there are some inconveniences in Gnome, I can feel
 1-2 times per day...)

 Plus: Gnome2, XFCE, KDE have more or less the same basic features that are
 the ones the user is confronted frequently. All these full-featured desktops
 can be configured to mimic each other in a way that no user without a lot of
 experience will notice the differences.

 All of them can have a hierarchical menu in the upper left corner, desktop
 icons, panels, a pager and a tray. And they suppport each others
 panel-applets or have similar applets as their siblings.

 I really think, that nobody, who has used Gnome2 the way a typical normal
 user uses a desktop will be apalled by XFCE.

  Having said that considering the fact that
 going forward there is a need for a new desktop to be adopted - I acquiese

  I think this is a very, very poor argument.  But iyou are not alone
 however.

 I haven't read any rants in this thread (well, maybe one) but I have seen
 a
 lot of ignorant whinging.

 There has been a vocal minority that asked, Why change from GNOME 2? or
 some other variant of that statement.  But it appears that these people
 neither understand why we made a decision nor have any understanding of
 XFCE
 and how similar it is to GNOME 2.

 So, the rants are ignorant protestations about change.  This has no
 reflection on XFCE.

 I challenge you (not just you aYo, but everyone) who thinks XFCE isn't
 super or good or isn't GNOME 2 to actually try it.  Try it for a week.
  A
 day, even.


 If someone can use XFCE and then provide a good fact based argument for
 not
 using XFCE *OR* can provide a viable alternative we would very much like
 to
 hear them.  I mean that sincerely.

 What I don't like, appreciate, or find useful is ignorant whinging
 without
 providing any reasons, facts, or alternatives.

Now, why is this a good thing? All this talk about switching DE for
stability on the one hand but it's really about reverting to old stuff,
isn't it?, and how long can the community keep this up?, tested out Gnome 3
last night a bit and I found it rather nice, I really can't see what all the
fuss is about. I've always thought about linux as among the leading in
osdevelopment, and especially US(the switch to an rt-kernel made a huge
difference in performance on my stationary) and I think the community should
embrace the future instead of trying to maintain things that probably has
been dropped for a reason.

Also, as someone said earlier, if it hasn't been done it may not be a bad
thing talking a bit about to whom US is supposed to be for either, I have
nothing to back this up but in my own experience, and I don't think I'm the
only one to see this, I think Ubuntu is getting more OSX like and maybe that
should be embraced as well. Many artists/producers DO use mac's and wouldn't
this open up for a larger group of potential users?

 robert, i for one really appreciate your well thought out statements. you
 have some very valid points. one of which i would like to bring up for
 debate here. do you feel like moving from gnome2 to gnome3 is a more drastic
 change than moving from gnome2 to XFCE?

that was one of the selling points of this move. even though we will be
 moving from the mainstream ubuntu workflow, we feil like this move to XFCE
 would actually be *less* disruptive than moving to unity or gnome3 (from
 gnome2). another selling point was also that we feel XFCE is very well
 supported, and well developed. the hardware support will always be the same
 as buntu though. a kernel update will be more likely to break functionality
 than the UI change. however, i dont feel like we should *not* upgrade the
 kernel. i think most linux users expect possible changes in support when
 going to a newer kernel version. ...


Well, either way you risk loosing supporters but in my opinion it's much
worse to risk being outdated than getting a bit of disruption for some
time(and I can't see how this can get so disruptive to a serious
producer/artist that it get's such a big problem, but this is just my
opinion).


 ...this debate really comes down to the basic question, 'what is
 ubuntustudio doing?'. whos is it for. are we attracting new users? studio
 engineers? video professionals?. this is something we are constantly trying
 to be more clear about. right now, a move to XFCE has the intention of being
 the least disruptive change, while maintaining a similar workflow, and also
 pooling our resources with the xubuntu team. adopting early hopefully means
 that by the next LTS (12.04), things will be nice and solid and working
 well. if we are to target current ubuntu users, then unity would be the way
 to go. if we are to target OSX users or audio professionals, then the
 current plan to use XFCE with the AWN dock actually might be the best idea.
 XFCE+AWN has a very OSX look and feel (much more so that the current
 ubuntutsudio) which i think is arguably a good improvement, and easily
 facilitates some nice 'workflow' ideas that scott lavender has proposed.
 what do you think would be a target audience? and how to best implement a DE
 for them?


Well, either way the system seems to go towards a more OSX like feeling,
however I can't help but like the inovative style of Gnome 3, atm. I'm
running 10.10 with cairodock(which for some reason worked better than awn
for me, also, to me, it's visually more appealing) and it feels a lot like
OSX. This being said, I'm not a huge fan of OSX myself, obviously I found it
rather locked and that's one of the reasons why I'm keeping my linux-based
system over switching to a mac, also I don't think we should be locked into
thinking that OSX is supposed to be the ultimate goal, in my opinion

Re: ubuntu studio 10.04 and novation x-station - trying to record audio 1 and 2

2010-07-17 Thread Robert Klaar
If it should show up automaticly in the Patchbay(alt connections) on the
jack control window, under system. If so you just have to link from;
system -|(at the input where you have put your mic) -- rosegarden -|(on one
of the inputs there). Also, due to some old bugs, I had to remove pulseaudio
to get my soundcard working but as said, this was some time ago and doesn't
aply to all cards iether.

 Greetings:

 I'm trying to record guitar and mic from a Novation X-Station 49 using
 Rosegarden Thorn on Ubuntu 10.04. I can connect to Rosegarden via MIDI,
 striking keys and recording the selected 'instrument', piano for example, by
 Jacking them together.

 I can plug in a mic and set gain on Input 1. But I do not seem to be able
 (understand?) how to Jack between X-Staion audio and Rosegarden. And with
 Jack down I can bring up PulseAudio volume controller, scratch the mic and
 see its level register.

 Help!

 Regards,
 Jay.

 Hi All,

 I am new to this list, although I am using Ubuntu Studio for a while now

 Today I found out that I can not configure my external soundcard properly
 for the use with JACK as I am not able to remove the Pulseaudio soundserver.
 I need to modify my .asoundrc and it is recommended by the Ubuntu wiki to
 completely remove Pulseaudio, which is not possible without removing the
 Ubuntu Studio desktop.

 Can anybody give an advice to remove Pulseaudio from Karmic? I want to use
 only Alsa and JACK.

 Thanks for any help!

Rme hdsp 9632 setup.

Hi, I recently bought a rme hdsp 9632 pci soundcard. Is there someone here
that have experience using it with ubuntu studio and how to configure it? I
read this; http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7024 and it seems awfully
complicated for ubuntu 9.10 with all it's apt-get packaging and stuff, what
do I have to do in Ubuntu to make it work, I've got bad experiences messing
with stuff that shouldn't be messed with like this and I don't want to edit
textfiles and such if I don't have to, anyone got experience? .)

 I am using the same card for a year now on UBS.

 It's really easy and straight forward:

 In UBS it the software for it comes PRE-INSTALLED, but to be on the safe
 side, do the following.

 open Synaptic (system  administration  synaptic package manager)

 type hdsp

 you will see two apps: 'alsa firmware loaders' and  'alsa tools gui'

 install them (if they aren't installed)

 go to Sound and Video  Audio production  HDSPConf and HDSPMixer should be
 there. These are your main aps for the card.

 As to how to CONFIGURE and USE the card, you should follow the manual which
 is written by RME for Windows/Mac and it applies to Linux as well.
 http://www.rme-audio.de/en_downloads_manuals.php

 This last step is important, as RME doesn't work the usual way, even on
 Win/Mac.

 Good luck!

One thing on the subjekt of standardise things that I would like to see is a
easy-acces compatible-hardware list, Maybe on the ubuntu studio homepage. As
of now all of this is spread across lists and forums and damned hard to find
to those not involved. I recently bought a new computer and tried to look
around for these stuff and I think I managed to put together something quite
nice, just a few major problems like that it freezes on network overload and
that I still don't know weither my firewire card works or not. .)

A list like this would get a more standardised platform for the US-user, I
think.

  If you're making an A/V distro, it makes sense that you should know
  what most A/V users use, and why they use them. Simple, really. And
  why they use those tools really boils down to two things: ease of use,
  and stability... which are intimately related.
 
 
   Well This is a little bit disturbing indeed, because, normally there
 are
   very few inputs to the DEV team. very few ideas and test cases etc. But
 i
   see a lot of people complaining. And this nobody can deny. Peple come
 and
   just complain, instead of describing the error or the feature etc.
 
  If a user is complaining, it means that you're not doing your job as a
  programmer - simple as that. To everyone's credit, the usual response
  is not shut up, but give me more details.

 Some people, and even one of my educated and computer-literate IT
 colleagues, don't get the difference between a bug report (or beta test
 report) and a complaint.  Getting these people past the point of just
 saying such-and-such doesn't work and leaving it at that is often a
 matter of education, and sometimes it ain't easy :-)

  - A/V is unfortunately not very open source at the moment, so should
  allow for easy installation of stuff that is not open.

 I heard someone once describe working with multimedia programming as a
 patent-infringement minefield.  Every step has to be made very
 carefully!

   The bottom line is that, by its very nature, F/OSS developers
   have _no_ responsibility to the end-user community, whatever that may
   be. None! Zarro! Zilch!! Open Source is developed in the context of
   a gift economy.
 
  This statement really surprises me, as it would also surprise
  businesses like Sun or IBM (or even Microsoft, who are trying to get
  into the open source game).

 Yes, it may well be in the interest of the likes of IBM and Sun to get
 into Open Source.  Enlightened self interest is an effective motivator,
 and these companies seem to get it with regard to the advantages of
 F/OSS software and how a thriving F/OSS community is important to the
 rest of their business.  The bottom line is still that the GPL and other
 legal trappings of F/OSS software don't imply a responsibility to the
 end user, and in fact just about all F/OSS packages contain a legal
 clause, quoted below, stating this fact in clear legalese.

 This in no way negates what I said.  If there is no contractual
 relationship between maker and consumer, express or implied by the
 exchange of consideration for purchase, then there is no obligation
 other than to do no harm.

 I recommend, if you haven't read it, Eric Raymond's The Cathedral and
 the Bazaar - the full book, not just the essay of the same name.

  Leaving that aside, if you're not writing software for the end-user
  community, why are you even writing software in the first place? Who's
  supposed to use it, our future Martian overlords or something?

 Actually, some F/OSS software seems to be written for the benefit of
 other developers.  The community of people around a F/OSS project can
 get very in-grown.  The result is that the people involved are more in
 touch with what's clever and goes over well with their colleagues than
 with the end-user experience.  Their work may be more along the lines of
 proof-of-concept, or some such.

 There are a lot of programmers who aren't particularly socially skilled,
 and making the conceptual leap to look at and evaluate their work from
 the perspective of someone who knows absolutely nothing about the
 underlying software technology isn't always easy.

 This doesn't mean that they're not developing valid F/OSS software, nor
 that their work is inherently of no value.  Very often such work is akin
 to what's called pure research in the natural sciences - science with
 no, or very little practical application.

 Commercial software development is driven by market dynamics.  If you
 make it and it's not good, or not as good as the competition, or not
 properly marketed, it's a dead duck.  F/OSS software developers _may_
 look at end-user satisfaction as a goal, but there 

Nec Firewire + Edirol fa-66 + Jack

2009-12-05 Thread Robert Klaar
Hi there!
I'm on my new computer and most things work as they should, after a bit of
configuration. One thing I haven't got up and running is my edirol fa-66
firewirecard. So; what I have is a NEC chip for the firewire, jack and the
fa-66. The computer realizes the NEC chip and bus-power is also working. I
set jack and my system in general using this guide;
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FireWire and jack starts with the given
settings. However, I test it with audacious and nothing happens, it just
scrolls through my playlist and there's nothing, nada comming out of my
fa-66. I can't help but feel that I've missed a step in all of this, what
might be wrong? I don't even know where I should start troubleshooting. :/

...also there's another more general problem; my router overloads at times
and on my other computers the network just drops dead, and then commes back
when the router's restarted, however; on this one the whole system crashes
down, it lags for a bit, then freezes and nothing to do but to restart. If
anybody has encountered this problem before help is much apreciated.

Usb/firewire for ubuntu studio

So I did some more troubleshooting and I seems that it's probably the ricoh
port messing things up... so I thought that buing something like this;
http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=332010view=detailed#ProductTabs might
solve things, will it? ...or will I have to configure lots just to get the
expresscard working, I'm not sure of, exactly how it works, but is
expresscard not the same as pci-express, but for laptops?, and thus it will
work... so, it's about wether ffado-list Texas instruments-firewire
working is the same as expresscard TI-chip working...

 If you get an error like this in JACK:

 Fatal (devicemanager.cpp)[68] initialize: Could not initialize

 Use your terminal to open /ect/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules...

 $ sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules

 ...and find the following line:

 KERNEL==raw1394, GROUP=disk

 ...and make it read:

 KERNEL==raw1394, GROUP=audio

 make your user a part of the audio group and you will have access to
 your FireWire devices.

 sudo adduser paco audio

 if your user name is paco.




 this procedure worked for me when I was getting similar errors
 connecting my Mackie Onyx mixer firewire card.

 Your permissions are not set correctly, it seems. Assuming you've got a
 standard Ubuntu Studio install, then you'll need to open up Ubuntu Studio
 Controls under Stystem  Administration. Check the box for allowing access
 to raw1394. It'll give you a warning, but just hit enter.

 The other thing you'll probably need to do is create an 'audio' group and
 then put yourself and 'root' in it. Every once in a while, I've still had
 problems getting the system to allow access to firewire after doing this,
 which is sometimes solved by creating a 'video' group and putting yourself
 and 'root' into that.

 If you're running a standard Ubuntu install, then you should check to make
 sure your /etc/security/limits.conf file includes the following lines:

 @audio - rtprio 99
 @audio - nice -19 (or whatever you'd like to set nice to)
 @audio - memlock unlimited (or whatever you'd like to set the memory limit
 to)

 If all else fails, you can also just manually give yourself permission to
 access firewire by doing 'sudo chmod 777 /dev/raw1394' or something similar.
 You will need to do that each time you start a session, assuming you don't
 use one of the other fixes.

 The JACK log is saying it can't lock down your memory. Does this have
 something to do with the memlock limit you've set in Ubuntu Studio Controls?
 That might be worth checking.

 What settings are you using when you start JACK?

Yes, I'm not sure what ffado-mixer is good for, not gonna use it but thought
it would be a good idea to reference with.

Tried memlocking at 75% but still no change.

...and I tried turning the rtkernel of, that took care of the

tried ALL levels and no change, it just changes the value in the message

 You can set the memlock using Ubuntu Studio Controls (under System 
 Administration). It is usually recommended that this be set to around 75% of
 memory. You can also set it under the /etc/security/limits.conf file, as
 mentioned earlier.

 I've never actually used the ffado mixer, so I'm not sure what the problem
 there might be.

 You probably wouldn't want to run JACK without the RT kernel. Have you
 tried using the 'firewire' driver in JACK? I believe that's the actual ffado
 driver, as opposed to freebob.

 I'd also try putting your memlock as high as it would go.

 Other than that, I'm pretty much out of suggestions. :)

 Your permissions are not set correctly, it seems. Assuming you've got a
 standard Ubuntu Studio install, then you'll need to open up Ubuntu Studio
 Controls under Stystem  Administration. Check the box for allowing access
 to raw1394. It'll give you a warning, but just hit enter.

 The other thing you'll probably need to do is create an 'audio' group and
 then put yourself and 'root' in it. Every once in a while, I've still had
 problems getting the system to allow access to firewire after doing this,
 which is sometimes solved by creating a 'video' group and putting yourself
 and 'root' into that.

 If you're running a standard Ubuntu install, then you should check to make
 sure your /etc/security/limits.conf file includes the following lines:

 @audio - rtprio 99
 @audio - nice -19 (or whatever you'd like to set nice to)
 @audio - memlock unlimited (or whatever you'd like to set the memory limit
 to)

 If all else fails, you can also just manually give yourself permission to
 access firewire by doing 'sudo chmod 777 /dev/raw1394' or something similar.
 You will need to do that each time you start a session, assuming you don't
 use one of the other fixes.

 There is ffado project for external firewire sound cards. I have Echo

 http://www.ffado.org/

 Do not buy anything but fully supported sound card from ffado project!

 Ubuntu Studio 8.04 do not have support for ffado, but Ubuntu Studio 9.04
 does (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libffado0). But you can quite
 easy build ffado library from source for Ubuntu Studio 8.04, if you like
 to use that version.

 And one more thing - there can be issues with firewire host controller -
 check your laptop first:

 http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/HostControllers

 I have TI in both machines I use (use 'lspci' command):

 Desktop:
 06:03.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A
 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)

Soundcard.

2009-08-08 Thread Robert Klaar
Hi guys!
I'm in need of a new soundcard, it'll have too be external since I'm on a
laptop. It can be fairly simple, a couple of inputs/outputs, is there a list
somewhere of soundcards that are supported by the community? Oh, and it
would be nice if it needn't an extra powercord, is this impossible? .)

Re: jack and sound restarting

Does it crash a lot?

  Hi everyone,
  I think I already brought this up before (thanks for your patience), but
  found no real solution to the problem:
 
  whenever jack freezes or stops running unexpectedly, after killing it or
  restarting it, it WONT work any more. I have been forced to restart the
  PC every time and as you might guess, it is a real problem!
 
  So my question is: how can I completely kill and restart the whole sound
  system without restarting the matchine? I've tried killing jack through
  the terminal and the device manager. That doesn't do the trick! My guess
  is I need something that problably restarts ALSA altogether.
  Any ideas??
 
  Many thanks!

 sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

 This should restart ALSA, at least it does on my Ibex and Hardy.

Re: [usersUbuntuStudio] Jack lags...

2009-03-07 Thread Robert Klaar
Update, so after a nights configuring I think I know wherein the problem
lies. :), I added Jack to the tray and now, when I start it, it gets
completely red. I checked this up and supposedly it has to do with xruns(?).
I also noticed that it helps changing the frames/period setting, but only to
a degree(even at highest it's no good). I see now that this is not strange
at all since it's the xruns that are causing it to slow down in the first
place... Now all I have to figure out is why the xruns are being sent. Also
I noticed something when starting alsamixer, I only have the masterbar.

 Hi there again!
 Been configuring audio now for the most of my friday-evening, everything
 works fine except it doesn't :(. Pulseaudio works, mediaplayers routing to
 pulseaudio too, but things like Ardour, Hydrogen, everything Jack-based
 doesn't. It lags when I try to use any samples and everything that's not
 working can in one way or another be related to Jack. When I started up a
 new project in Ardour, a notice came up stating that I had locked my memory
 or something, I looked up how to unlock this and now the notice is gone but
 nothing has changed with how it sounds, allthought it seemed reasonable(I'm
 sitting on a dual core 2.3 ghz with a ram of 3 g so I find it hard to think
 anything's wrong with the hardware per sey), I also checked with system
 monitor and it is hardly working it would seem when running jack. Also Jack
 shows, in the Jack-ctrl window something like 1(249), 249 is increasing,
 don't know if this is normal or not since I'm new to the whole thing. Anyone
 care to take a guess?... so that I might go out and get oen or two beers at

Re: Ipv6 to Ipv4...

2009-03-06 Thread Robert Klaar
It had to do with the use of Ipv6, disabled it, restarted net, rebooted, now
it works like a clockwork ^^, just had to reboot a few times more than I did
when I popped the question... anyways, got my pulseaudiobuild comming up
quite nicely, as for now jack laggs, skips and stuff but I'm on it, probably
just a couple of configurations wrong. thx for the help.

 It probably has nothing to with IPv6.  Can you ping your IP from another
 box on the network?  What driver and hardware is this?  Are we talking
 about a wired or wireless connection?  How is your IP assigned (ie. is
 it static or dhcp)?

Re: usb/midi adapter - which ones work well?

2009-01-28 Thread Robert Klaar
Great, and you didn't require drivers for the pcicard?, then there should be
no problem :), thx.

 I have an M-Audio Delta 1010, which uses a PCI card to interface with
 the audio/MIDI connector and it's worked out of the box with no
 additional drivers required (although the unit was installed when I
 first installed UBS).

 M-Audio releases their drivers through a third party, but they are
 true OEM drivers.

  i could be wrong here, someone feel free to jump in and correct what i
  think i've found...
 
  it seems like the m-audio (2x2, 4x4) adapters work, but require drivers
  that aren't supported by the manufacturer.
 
  it seems like the tapco link.midi 4x4 works out of the box, and the
 street
  price is close to (or less than) the m-audio 2x2. it also seems a little
  bit tougher (recessed front/rear panels, rubber padding) and a little
  better designed, overall (different color LEDs for input/output/power,
  kensington lock hole). of course, i'm just looking at pictures on the
  'net, so i could be off by a tad ;)
 
  ideologically, i'm also leaning towards the mackie because it seems to
  just work. i'd rather spend my money with a company that's following
  standards, rather than a company that uses proprietary drivers and merely
  tolerates linux users developing an independent driver, with no company
  support (if i understand it correctly).
 
  it even looks like the tapco firmware upgrades are just a sysex file...
 so
  i wouldn't expect any problems using amidi to upgrade the firmware.
 that's
  actually two points they've scored; in addition to using sysex for
  upgrades, they have upgrades!!
 
  like i said, this is based on a few minutes googling, and may not
  accurately reflect reality.
 
  if anyone can comment on these (or other!) usb/midi adapters... please
  do...
 
  thanks...
