kernel 6.6

[Impostor]

in Ubuntu and derivatives the root account is disabled by default.

...sorry for nitpicking, but the root account is always there, it's not like other OSes where there is a "system" account, that's unreachable under a running os. You just don't know the password for root.

'twas my understanding that there is no password for root, so you can't login as root, period. One first has to create a root password with sudo something.
But I may be wrong. Happened before.

One may go to the trouble of initiating a root terminal if one has several commands to run with elevated privileges, then it saves typing by not having to put sudo in front of every damn command.
I use both depending on how many root commands I wish to run, and also what mood I'm in. Does that make me one of "everybody"? :mrgreen:

Initiating a root terminal can be done without logging in as root, with "sudo su" or a variation hereof. But for "su -" to work, you'll need the root password, not your user password.

It's upsetting when you can't find a stroopwafel when you need one!

Back to the original problem, Thankfully it happened again after the upgrade to 6.6.6 kernel so I ran Muse in debug and the relevant error was :

that the RTalsa something or another could not open card [1,3]

on running aplay -l, it was correct card [1,3] was the HDMI port and the m-audio sound card was card [2, 0]

it basically only tries the first port (at least i think thats the case).

so i added an option in the

cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-ice1712 index=1
options snd-hda-intel index=2

as root

rebooted and now

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 1: M1010LT [M Audio Delta 1010LT], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

that fixed the problem.

@wintpe I've had to do that for years with my Audiophile 2496 (same chip as Delta 1010). Kernel versions don't make any difference.

[wintpe]

yes its nothing to do with kernel versions as you say, it was just a coincidence that when i changed the kernel version at first the sound cards switched places, when not indexed, to specifically lock them into slots.
this happens all the time on linux, disks are the worst , which is why using a virtual representation of disks such as the UUID or the lvm virtual id is better than entering /dev/sda into the fstab, as you never know which device is what.
and it replicates this behaviour all over the device tree.
this has its benefits in some places, but in others its just an annoyance until you get with it.

while im logged in, back to Tims reply number 12.
I really do understand where you are coming from.
But there is a way round this.
inside the XML file add a variable/statement
INSOFFSET1=-1
INSOFFSET2=-1
and where this is specified pull your default down to zero.
that way the offset can be set in the INS file to whatever manufacturers style that the XML file represents.
this way you support all manufactures styles.
call it an enhancement request.
my justification for this is that in the opensource world, Muse4 is the only DAW that supports rolands romplers properly.
sure theres rosegarden, which is like muse version 1, ie out of date and lacking any innovative moves forward.
theres qtractor, but its author does not think that MIDI sysex has any place in the future of DAW and has publicly stated this on many occasions, whereas muse4 seems to support it, although ive not quite got my head around it yet, and Ardor, well just makes instrument definitions as hard as it possibly can to setup.
so for all those Roland Rompler owners muse4 is the only DAW that works unless you are in the Windows world where Sonar and Cubase rule.
