new user has an in-built E-MU 1212m

[dead fly collection]

i'm completely new to linux, and pretty useless... i just don't know the sytem well enough yet, can anyone recomend a good recording program? also i have a E-Mu1212m on this computer from when it was a windows xp bad boy. can i get Ubuntu to 'see' the E-Mu 1212m or should i be getting a new sound card?...

sorry if i'm slow or posting in the wrong section, just shout at me... i've just found the screensaver part of Ubuntu and that excites me! have you seen the Matrix one?!?!?!

cheers

Looks like it half-works.. You know if it's worth it buying a more compatible card

thanks, ok i'm really stuck!
here's my bag...
i have a Carillon system with an inbuilt EM-U 1212m sound card. i have no idea how to make it work and by looking at the AlsaProject site it doesn't look like it's gonna work... i also have an Edirol FA-66 that i use with my Mac... it's firewire and the only firewire port on my comp is in the E-MU 1212m (d'oh!). when i plug it in the bus power on the Edirol comes on, so its obviously all connected correctly.

basically i've used mac and pc, but only got my hands on Ubuntu Linux over the last couple of months. i'm a bit scared... i have no money to buy another sound card just now. can anyone help me? can i make one of these soundcards work?

thanks for your patience

check dmesg and lspci (both command-line commands) to see if your EMU's firewire is recognized as such. If it is, then I suppose you could try freebob for the edirol. But I'm only guessing here...
