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

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 ;-)

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

-Yes, the light will not turn blue until the Firepod is connected to JACK.
-/dev/raw1394 SHOULD appear as soon as you turn the Firepod on.  If it does
not, then something has gone awry.
-The 'firewire' drive is FFADO.  Freebob is. . . well, freebob.
-Not sure exactly what your last question is, but if you were going to ask
where Studio Controls is, then it should be under System  Administration.
