Re: USB interface stopped working after update

2012-10-17 Thread Tim Krone
Hey Bruno,

I have had a similar problem the last days and worked hard on it. I have teo 
different soundcards: RME Digi9636 and M-Audio Delta44.
Both cards where found by lspci but not always with aplay -L. Mysterious...
But yesterday I got it. I disabled ACPI with boot option noacpi in 
/etc/default/grub and just to be sure I disabled it in BIOS also. Now both 
cards work with.

So please try the noacpi boot option.

Regards
Tim

Re: USB interface stopped working after update

2012-10-13 Thread Tim Krone
Hey Bruno,

another option is to boot your kernel with acpi=off. You can do it with your 
grub configuration. Don't forget to update your new grub via sudo update-grup.

Please be careful when doing this.

Livesystems could have set this parameter standard - I don't know.

Regards
Tim

Oh yes, that was another idea I had too. Disable onboard sound in bios.

Hey Bruno,

I only have only a german resource for that but possibly google translate helps:
 
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Soundkarten_konfigurieren#Soundkarte-ist-stumm-obwohl-sie-unter-dem-Livesystem-funktioniert-und-auch-vom-System-erkannt-wurde

That fits exactly to your problem.

can you disable the internal sound card in the BIOS? even doing so
temporarily will take the multiple sound cards out of the equation for
troubleshooting purposes

I understood it should be done using the /etc/asound.conf  for all users 
on any machine and the hidden config file in the user's home directory 
that is the equivalent of asound.conf but for specific user. That is if 
you are using ALSA

Hey Bruno,

have you got any other soundcard enabled on your machine like the
onboard chip? Try lspci | grep audio to find soundcards.
So when there are more then one card or even midi interfaces you
must set a fixed card order.

Possibly you can also try gladish instead of qjackctl.

Regards
Tim

Re: USB interface stopped working after update

2012-10-12 Thread Bruno Tucunduva Ruviaro
Thanks,

I just tried that now (addressing the soundcard by name directly --
hw:VSL), and still no sound out. Not sure it's a sound card order problem.
As you can see in the screenshot here (
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bz9f9_VYwS1PeVdleVhvUUx5ZDg), Jack always
"recognizes" the sound card and starts without problem. But no sound goes
anywhere in the PreSonus card.

- If I switch back to the internal Intel sound card, sound comes out of the
built-in speakers.
- If I pop in a Live Ubuntu Studio CD and boot from it, the PreSonus
interface works just as expected, out of the box.
- If I try the PreSonus interface on a Mac, it also works.

Any other troubleshooting tips greatly appreciated... thanks!

Best,

Bruno

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your reply. How exactly do I set a fixed order of soundcards? I
read somewhere that I should change /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf -- is
that really the case?

Here's the output of some terminal commands:

ruviaro@bruno-toshiba:~$ aplay -l

ruviaro@bruno-toshiba:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules

Can you disable your internal soundcard?

I would try booting the original kernel if you are upgrading it after
install...

Re: USB interface stopped working after update

2012-10-11 Thread Bruno Tucunduva Ruviaro
Hi,

Back to an unresolved issue I posted sometime ago. I did some more tests this 
week and found out the following (I did this test twice and obtained the same 
results in two different machines):

1) I install Ubuntu Studio 12.04 from scratch;
2) I try it with my PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL USB interface. Open Jack, Jack 
sees interface, Start Jack, Start Hydrogen, Play a Demo, it all works and I get 
sound out. Happy!
3) I then turn off the computer and the interface. Then turn them back on;
4) I repeat the steps of #2: open jack, jack sees interface OK, I start jack, I 
start Hydrogen, open a Demo, and... no more sound comes out of the interface. I 
don't even see the meter lights anymore. Still, Jack recognizes it and starts 
correctly. But no sound anymore.

With this, I rephrase my original question. The problem was not a recent 
software update, as I had thought: now even with a clean, fresh install of 
Ubuntu Studio, the interface works the first time, and after rebooting the 
computer, it never works again.

I've tested the audio interface on a Mac computer and it is working (in fact I 
bought this PreSonus recently, it's brand new). If I boot Ubuntu studio from a 
live CD, the interface works again.

Any ideas on how to solve this mystery?

Thank you very much for any help,

Bruno

Hi,

I didn't use synaptic, but I copy below the contents of history.log from 
/var/log/apt/ 
The interface was working fine until 2012-09-24. After those updates it stopped 
working.
Thanks for any help,

Bruno

Hi,

I have Ubuntu studio 12.04 installed on one laptop, and regular Ubuntu on 
another (also 12.04). Until a few days ago, both systems used to work fine with 
a PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL USB interface. All of a sudden, the two laptops are 
no longer working with this interface. My only guess is that this was caused by 
some kind of software update (I usually do all required & recommended updates 
suggested by Ubuntu).

To be more precise, Jack still sees the USB interface as before; I am able 
to start jack with the PreSonus, I see all the ins and outs in the connection 
window. But no sound seems to arrive in the hardware. No sound comes out. I 
used to see the AudioBox meters lighting up last week; they no longer light up 
this week. I've tested the audio interface on a Mac computer and it is working. 
In fact, if I boot Ubuntu studio from a live CD (that is, without any recent 
updates), the interface works again.

Has anything like this happened to other people this week? Any tips on how 
to solve the problem?

Thank you very much,

Bruno

If you upgraded using Synaptic, there'll be a history about the upgraded
packages. Please send a copy of this list.
