Hi,
I recently purchased a mic for recording and the YAMAHA audiogram 6 as an interface for my computer, it connects via USB. I had been running Ardour and successfully recording through the mic input built into the computer but can’t seem to get this external mic to work. The funny thing is I can record with the new mic using the default sound recorder. I was able to do this after selecting the mic in system > preferences > sound.
I have played around with the jack setup and selected the USB audio hardware as inputs but still cannot get it to work in Ardour. I may just be missing a setting in either JACK or Ardour but cannot figure out what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I run Ubuntu 10.04.
The number in front of the device you want to use wiht jack is what you put into the jackd commandline. E.g. if i want to use my delta 66, i start jack like this:
@bholzman: your “system sound preferences” have no impact at all on JACK - it ignores them entirely. In addition, Ardour has no interest in your audio hardware - it leaves all that stuff to JACK. You should be using qjackctl to control JACK, and in the upper right area of its setup dialog you will find a selector for which audio h/w you want JACK to use. If you want to use multiple different audio hardware, that’s a bit more complicated, and you should read the JACK FAQ, specifically: http://jackaudio.org/multiple_devices
