Noob says hello

[Mark Stuart Burge]

Welcome Paul.

What is your sound card / interface ?

Can we assume you are using a digi box ? (which would make sense why you 
are having trouble getting it working)
 From a short amount of reading, it seems like digidesign do not release 
their hardware info for the community to build drivers from, so progress 
is a little slow.

If you know your interface is compatible with alsa, then my second 
question would be ' do you have an additional built in sound card ?'
This is a common issue, where alsa/jack picks up the wrong card as 
default, and you need to either disable the 2nd card, or configure alsa 
and jack to use the correct card each time you boot.


So, I guess, let us know the hardware you are using and we can take it 
from there.

I also have a MacBook-based Pro Tools setup, and was hoping to use the same interface for both systems, to save money, which is scarce.

I find audio questions are so diffused throughout the Ubuntu forums that it's hard to get your question seen by the person who can answer it.  I was hoping if I got to a place where audio geeks congregate I could get the information I need.
