Ubuntu studio and Behringer UMC404, Jack is not my friend
Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:42 pm
Hello fellow linux crew and musicians!
Loved finding this forum.
I've bought a Behringer UMC404 and a Thomann T.Bone "rip-off shure" mic and connecting it up with Jack has been damn frustrating.
After 6 hours of forums/youtube & endless tinkering I've found that the solutions are quite customised to each system and I haven't found anything that works for mine yet.
I really liked the solution of forcing the alsa input into the jack connection list with;
But it did not work for me.
So Now is the time to ask for help.
Behringer UMC404 (not the HD)
T.Bone cc75
Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS
Jack 0.4.2 (Qtjackcl)
My process
- doing a cat /proc/asound/cards shows me that the AI is seen. WIN.
- The only way that Jack will start is with "default" chosen as the input.
- The AI shows up in Jack-->setup-->paramters--> interface. And in setup-->advanced-->input device. But selecting anything other than default for these throws Dbus errors and jack does not start.
- I've explored the pulseaudio-Jack sink and this seems to be active. <--- I really liked this solution.. Harmony between two monsters, if only it worked.
- Killing pulseaudio and starting Jack with "default", the Pulse-Jack sink then shows up in the Jack connections.
- The AI shows up in the ALSA tab of the Jack connections, however only with MIDI inputs (for some reason).
- Using Ardour I can connect the onboard laptop mic with JAck running to the Ardour track.
So Jack to Ardour seems to work. Ai to Jack input-capture seems to be where the problem lies.
Please advise some diagnostic commands so I can give you some hard data to work with.
Thank you!!
