Also look in synaptic and see if you have these packages installed (quickfilter ffado):

jackd-firewire
ffado-tools
ffado-mixer-qt4
ffado-dbus-server
libffado2
This.

Better to test this feature once the card is known to work. Until then, I'd recommend using Stop and Start.

This is what I got under Cadence-Tools-Logs-JACK. A2J and LADISH were blank.

Well the firewire device fw0 has been created.

To see if ffado recognises it, in a terminal window type: ffado-test ListDevices

I should also ask if you are a member of the audio group, this can be found answered in the System tab of Cadence.

If not, go to system>users and groups> advanced setting (enter password)>user privileges and tick audio (and anything else you think could be useful)

I should also note that the Multimix 8 is not well supported by the ffado software, whereas the multimix 16 is :shock:

see http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list

although some people do have it working, http://thecommandline.net/2010/09/12/li ... nt-page-1/

So lets see what listdevices says and take it from there!

I had already read up on the board. Upon reading this, I then connected my USB version of the board. Worked fine through USB. I think I will go with this option, and maybe set up either an XP machine or find some other way to utilize the firewire mixer.

Now to learn Ardour, and see if there is a notation app that is comparable to Noteworthy notation software. I guess this, at least the notation software issue, is for another discussion, maybe even another forum.
