I patched my 2.8.14 with a binary editor (wow, it’s years since I’ve done that sort of thing!) to poke the correct fire driver name into the ardour binary.
I found a Mantis number 0003457 for A3, but that was evidently resolved in 2010.
Well, the problem persists in 2.8.15. When trying to start the audio engine using FFADO, Ardour invokes jackd with the incorrect parameter " -d ffado". This is evidenced by the console output. The correct parameter is “-d firewire”.
I’ll submit a bug report once my Mantis registration is activated.
Hello, thanks for all works.
This version seems to work better on my Macpro than 2.8.14 ( I don’t know why ). But recording 48 tracks is now possible for me.
