Before updating my Linuxmint 17.3 yesterday morning my longtime firewire sound system using Kxstudio repositories and cadence worked beautifully. Now I have no sound at all.
For 5 years have been using the behringer x1622 usb mixer and hooked into my fca202 which connected to my computer with firewire. Worked very well this way for probably 5 years. I always used ffado and cadence, too. After these updates yesterday morning the sound did not work at all. I tried everything I could think of after reading about blacklisting snd-dice, etc. I hope it is not the fca202 itself that died. Just seems it would be the updates.
Today hooked up my x1622 as a usb device to work around it and it does not sound as rich and full as the firewire connection. Also, the usb connection has been heating my cpu to 39C up to 58C . Using firewire it would not go over 10C temps using several daws and adding my yamaha ypg235 keyboard to the equation.
Would it be better to just use the snd-dice setup? Really do not know how that would be done. I have had no problems with ffado and now it will not work with ffado. Does cadence work with snd-dice? How does one make sure the snd-dice is set up correctly with alsa backend and jack?
