Ubuntu-Studio-devel Digest, Vol 16, Issue 38

Hi

I'm not sure if I should be replying to this list or not (I am new to
this).  However, I have (excitedly) installed the new ffado package into
Ubuntu Studio 8.04.1, and update jackd, but cannot get the two working
together.  When setting up jack via qjackctl, ffado does not appear in the
"Driver:" dropdown list - I just get the same options I've always had.  When
I try and start jackd from a terminal, I get the following:

JACK compiled with System V SHM support.
loading driver ..
firewire ERR: Incompatible libffado version! (libffado 1.999.36-)
cannot load driver module firewire
no message buffer overruns
no message buffer overruns

I seem to have a problem with Firewire in general.  When I launch gscanbus,
I get this:

couldn't get handle: No such file or directory
This probably means that you don't have raw1394 support in the kernel or
that
you haven't loaded the raw1394 module.

I have ticked the box to "Enable raw 1394" in Ubuntu Studio Controls",
however.  If I do "modprobe raw1394", then gscanbus, I get a gscanbus window
showing my AudioFire 8.  Is there a way to load raw1394 on boot?

Incidentally, I am running Ubuntu Studio on my Dell XPS 1530 laptop,
connecting my AudioFire to the internal firewire port - I've also tried an
ExpressCard, but get the same results.

Please could you offer me any advice?

Thanks very much.

Regards

Neil Padgett
