Out of the Box - Ubuntu 10.04

Submitted by Jaaxx on Thu, 07/29/2010 - 05:21.

Worked right out of the box with no config whatsoever. Simply got the ffado packaes from synaptic and fired up qjackctl.

The driver exposes -
6 Capture ports (2 x stereo Line-in/Phono(selectable) w/passthroughs and 1 x stereo Line-in/XLR mic(selectable))
6 Output ports (2 x stereo Line-outs and 1 x 1/4" stereo Headphone out)
1 X MIDI-in and 1 X MIDI-out

No mixer support of course, but not necessary because each input has it's own gain control onboard and the passthroughs on the Line-ins give many monitoring possibilities.

Tested to 1ms @ 48000hz and 2ms @ 96000hz. So far seems very stable and good sound quality.

This is a really nice setup considering these are discontinued and are popping up in pawn shops all over. I got this one online for $40.

fully functional

Submitted by triune on Tue, 01/13/2009 - 22:15.

Tested for about a month with Ubuntu 8.04 last summer. Will devote some more time to test 2.0 when it gets released under 8.10 (or 9.04 if it takes that long to go gold!). No problems, good audio, no drops and seemed to work just as well as it did under Windows XP. It did take some minor tweaking via the mailing list and usage of code from SVN to get it setup correctly.

how did you do it?

Submitted by jangal on Sat, 05/29/2010 - 00:47.

did it just plug and play? i don't understand the last part of your statement, could you please elaborate because i just purchased one and i am trying to use it with ubuntu 10.04.
my goal is to use it with mixx and my cdjs with serato timecode cds. i am using a dell xps m140 and it is plugged in through the really small 1394 port. it is not recognized by pulse audio or alsamixer. when i try to run jack with firewire i get the following:

no message buffer overruns
could not open driver .so '/usr/lib/jack/jack_freebob.so': libfreebob.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

firewire ERR: FFADO: Error creating virtual device

i see you posted a long time ago but i'm somewhat desperate to get it working - jangal

it does work indeed

Submitted by jangal on Wed, 06/02/2010 - 01:32.

good news (for me atleast)!
i got it to work! after a number of attempts of going over my steps, the solution was simple yet all the more mystifying. the trick - i started jack via termial as described on the ffado wiki and it worked. all my channels appear (the 2 main ins and outs), the aux/mic in, and the midi in/out as well yea!!!!
