You might want to check the physical connections (firewire cables / adapters, etc). I've had my Saffire LE plays mp3 for about an hour non-stop ( on 48 KHz), without any problem :) I'm using studio hardy 32 bit on Asus A8E notebook (which has Ricoh firewire). The only problem I found is sometimes JACK failed to start, but when I rearrange the cable position, it works again... so I suspect that it's a problem with my cable. My notebook only have a 4-pin firewire, so I can't use the 6-to-6 pin firewire cable supplied with Saffire LE. So I got myself a 6-to-4 pin firewire cable. It's this cable that I suspect to have a low quality. Two weird things I noticed about Saffire LE and JACK: 1. It just won't work on 44.1KHz, mine only works at 48 and 96 KHz. 2. I need to set the number of max I/O channel both to 64. QJackCtl's max value of 32 just don't work, so I have to modify QJackCtl's config file.
Hope it helps :) ======================================= > From: Chris Wenn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: More Problems [was: Re: Focusrite Saffire LE] > To: Ubuntu Studio Users Help and Discussion > <ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain > > OK > > I now have a firewire ExpressCard - the cheapest I could get, because > they're VERY expensive here! lspci shows: > > 0e:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link > Layer Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) > Subsystem: Unknown device 0ee4:3884 > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18 > Memory at ecc04000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] > Memory at ecc00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] > Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 > > So NOT Ricoh! > > I have to disable the onboard 1394 to get gscanbus and freeBoB to > recognise the device, which is fine and no big deal, plus there was some > fiddling to get ExpressCard support (add 'pciehp pciehp_force=1' > to /etc/modules) > > Now, when I start jackd (jackd -R -vv -d freebob) i get > > JACK compiled with System V SHM support. > server `default' registered > registered builtin port type 32 bit float mono audio > registered builtin port type 8 bit raw midi > clock source = system clock via clock_gettime > loading driver .. > new client: freebob_pcm, id = 1 type 1 @ 0x806ff40 fd = -1 > Freebob using Firewire port 0, node -1 > new buffer size 1024 > LibFreeBoB MSG: FreeBoB Streaming Device Init > LibFreeBoB MSG: Using FreeBoB lib version libfreebob 1.0.7 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Device information: > LibFreeBoB MSG: Device options: > LibFreeBoB MSG: Port : 0 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Device Node Id : -1 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Samplerate : 48000 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Period Size : 1024 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Nb Buffers : 3 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Directions : 0 > showDevice: not implemented > FreeBoB MSG: Register MIDI IN port dev1c_Midi In > FreeBoB MSG: Register MIDI OUT port dev1p_Midi Out > FreeBoB MSG: Streaming thread running with Realtime scheduling, priority > 14 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C0_dev1c_Rec 1 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C1_dev1c_Rec 2 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C2_dev1c_Rec 3 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C3_dev1c_Rec 4 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C4_dev1c_Rec 5 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C5_dev1c_Rec 6 > FreeBoB MSG: Don't register capture port for dev1c_Midi In > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P0_dev1p_Play 1 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P1_dev1p_Play 2 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P2_dev1p_Play 3 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P3_dev1p_Play 4 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P4_dev1p_Play 5 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P5_dev1p_Play 6 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P6_dev1p_Play 7 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P7_dev1p_Play 8 > FreeBoB MSG: Don't register playback port dev1p_Midi Out > registered port system:capture_1, offset = 4096 > registered port system:capture_2, offset = 8192 > registered port system:capture_3, offset = 12288 > registered port system:capture_4, offset = 16384 > registered port system:capture_5, offset = 20480 > registered port system:capture_6, offset = 24576 > registered port system:playback_1, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_2, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_3, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_4, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_5, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_6, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_7, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_8, offset = 0 > ++ jack_rechain_graph(): > client freebob_pcm: internal client, execution_order=0. > -- jack_rechain_graph() > FreeBoB MSG: MIDI threads running with Realtime scheduling, priority 13 > FreeBoB MSG: MIDI queue thread started > libiec61883 warning: Established connection on channel 0. > You may need to manually set the channel on the receiving node. > libiec61883 warning: Established connection on channel 1. > You may need to manually set the channel on the transmitting node. > 21087 waiting for signals > Aborted > > The device clicks as if it's starting, then jack aborts a moment later. > > WHAT IS GOING ON?! > > > -- 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
