I will try, I already chose all the options devices and still not working, something with d-bus, can't connect to server. <div class="gmail_quote">On 29 Mar 2016 4:28 p.m., "Ralf Mardorf" <<a href="mailto:ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net">ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Tue, 29 Mar 2016 15:10:44 +0200, Kaj Ailomaa wrote: >I couldn't spot any clues from the error message.

Falling back to capture-only mode" I recommend to open a terminal and to run aplay -l;printf "\n###\n\n";arecord -l;printf "\n###\n\n";amidi -l then the original poster should select the output, right click, chose copy and paste it to an email, to send it to the mailing list. Perhaps the original poster has several audio devices and maybe at least one device might provide record ports only or just midi ports. Since the order of cards could change with each reboot, it requires either to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, for example $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf # ALSA module ordering options snd slots=snd_hdspm,snd_ice1712,snd_ice1712 or instead of choosing "hw:0" to chose an audio device by it's dedicated name. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users</a> </blockquote></div>
