Alright, got Ubuntu Studio 13.10 installed on my ext. usb drive, on
my HP Pavillion desktop, now trying to configure for functionality.
<br>
<br>
Wondering, first of all, if Pulse audio can be safely turned
off...? & if so, what is the best way to do this?<br>
<br>
Second, though alsa appears to be installed, when I call up
'alsamixer' from terminal... I get:<br>
<br>
"cannot open mixer: No such file or directory"<br>
<br>
I installed a gui alsa mixer (gnome alsamixer)... but it crashes
after I start it<br>
<br>
Third, having trouble getting sound IN from my Native Instruments
Komplete Audio 6 usb 3.0 device... (presently, using s/pidf connect
from my Yamaha 01v mixer). I can get sound from <i>in</i> the CPU,
i.e., radio streams, audio cd's, etc.. & I figured out how to
get midi IN & OUT... so any one with such experience, &
insite, your suggestions would be more than welcome.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Henry<br>
