just checked - Mint 16 is kernel 3.11.
i am going to give up ubuntustudio. I started Audacity just now and still got the 60 clicks. Though Acid 2 and the mp3 player both started fine.
As i prefer Mint i think i will try that.

Hi Aistis i did have onboard sound turned off already. Buti have new pc (laptop) and have been trying it with ubuntustudio, which is realtime kerel, whatever that means and since turning the onboard sound off the focusrite has behaved fine. not recorded with it yet as i have to make sure this real t...

hi kenske sorry to hear you have the same problem - though relieved its not just me. the short answer is no, i haven't sorted it out. i bought the Art USB Dual Tube Pre (also usb2) and that worked without problem. But the reason why i didn't buy the Art at the beginning is that it has tiny knobs fro...

HI Pablo
Funnily enough i used to a few years ago. But then i stopped - can't remember why. I do like the clean desktop you get with Mint but presumably Ubuntu Studio has a fairly light desktop.
Thanks for all your help

HI Pablo
i have done this and restarted the computer.
then started qjackctl and started Audacity - but still get the same frozen transport.

TIME TO TRY TO SORT OUT THE POPPING: so, in a terminal: cat /proc/asound/cards gives me: 1 [USB ]: USB-Audio - Scarlett 2i4 USB Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 USB at usb-0000:00:1a.7-5, high speed I think that is a good sign - it sees the 2i4. I don't know if high speed means USB2. next: lsusb gives me: Bus...

I recorded for the first time last night. Using Audacity. It pops at the start of record and at the end - but the pops are not recorded thankfully. It was a stereo recording - by accident really, it was only mono in but audacity recorded as one side of a stereo recording, so that may count as stereo...

I have been recording music on linux since 2007 (when i finally got Dreamweaver and Photoshop working in wine and was able to bin MS for work). I used a m-audio Audiophile 24/96 PCI card. There was always a couple of days of swearing while i got audio set up after a new linux install. But it always ...
