Comment: I can confirm this. I have an edirol ua-25 usb midi/soundcard. It registers and System-Preferences-Sound identifies it when its plugged in. trying to start jackd -d alsa gives the following error: ALSA lib confmisc.c:1107:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'defaults.pcm.device' ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:242:(snd_func_getenv) error evaluating default ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_igetenv returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3951:(snd_config_expand) Args evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2099:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM hw:0 ALSA lib confmisc.c:1107:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'defaults.pcm.device' ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:242:(snd_func_getenv) error evaluating default ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_igetenv returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3951:(snd_config_expand) Args evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2099:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM hw:0 ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for playback. Falling back to capture-only mode cannot load driver module alsa no message buffer overruns Everything online says to run alsaconf to define the cards. I assume that the alsa packages don't properly setup the cards in either /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
