Ok, not quite finding what I’m looking for with the freebob and jack docs, I’m trying to figure out which part of the chain isn’t working here.
Does anyone have any info on now I would know if freebob has “found” my firepod. Does it give some kind of a name or something?
I’m using fedora 8
here’s what messages I’m getting after: jackd -d freebob

It looks like you’re not specifing freebob and jack which device to use… Try running QJackCTL and you’ll see if anything is recognized by Freebob. If not, and it probably will since you’re using a non-optimized distro, you’ll probably need to follow some guides through the internet, nothing hard to do anyway, my friend’s firepod works like a charm in linux. And it’s also a great interface.
Good Luck
Well, I see some stuff online for ubuntu but not fedora. Does anyone have tips with fedora? I already tried QJackCTRL and nothing was seeming to show up, it’s connected and everything and works fine in windows.
What’s a good optimized distro that’s 64-bit?
ah, cool … got it with Ubuntu studio 64!
