Yes, I do understand this, though Ubuntu Studio is configured for AV
usage much more than Ubuntu is (lowlatency kernel is default, as you
well know)<br>

<div>the live CD's i suggest *are* FLOSS, and the one you
used to install ubuntustudio will do fine. its so you can

I know they are Libre software... I simply meant that I'd rather
install it than use a Live system. The only thing I am tweaking is
QJackCtrl in order to make it see the FireBox, in 14.04. the
presets can be easily reset, as I have a 'safe' saved preset using
alsa and and experimental preset for firewire<br>

I am in 12.04 right now, but if you need me to run
some commands and post the output I would be glad to.
Presonus Firebox is already on FFADO (which is why I
got it).<br>

Unfortunately this is not the case with Ubuntu (not Ubuntu Studio).
So that is why I am posting to the Ubuntu Studio list, in order to
find out what is different in Studio, so I can simply configure
whatever it is by hand to work. And I appreciate you spending so
much of your time trying to help me!<br>

I know, it says that on the FFADO page, but in the comments someone
mentioned that it did actually work 'out of the box' in Ubuntu
12.04, so I figured I'd get it (12.04 is supported for long enough
anyhow)<br>

hmmm... you don't even need to start the mixer? I may try without
starting the mixer... but surely you need Jack, right?<br>

Mike, I really appreciate all your patience and hard work in helping
me to resolve this issue with 14.04. either way, I am glad to have
12.04 working splendidly with it.<br>
I always enjoy the process of getting some old 'broken' computer and
giving it new life with Ubuntu (or in some cases Debian or Fedora...
and once in a while Puppy).<br>
Thanks for helping me turn this old Mac someone thought was useless
into a recording studio :)<br>
I am not sure I can say thank you enough times, but I do really
appreciate your help!<br>
