Recording in Ardour from Focusrite Scarlett 2i4

Post by ardour-fan »

Hello dear friends,

i read in google that Focuserite Scarlett 2i4 works ou of box on ubuntu (i have ubuntu 14.04 LTS) and thus has no need for installing new drivers. I have connected it to my Thinkpad X250, qjackctl is running, but i cant see Focusrite under audio lists to connect to ardour. I think my system has recognized the Focusrite (but i am not sure) because of:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDMI
                      HDA Intel HDMI at 0xf1230000 irq 48
 1 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xf1234000 irq 45
 2 [USB            ]: USB-Audio - Scarlett 2i4 USB
                      Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 USB at usb-0000:00:14.0-1, high speed
Could anyone help me with this issue please, i would be very grateful.

Maybe your qjackctl is taking another device by default?
Try to switch the device manually in qjackctl.
