M-Audio Fast Track Pro and recording?

Hi Guys

Apologies if I’m covering old ground here but I saw the post and thought you may be able to help.

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 8.04 and an M-Audio Fasttrack USB.

I can get the FT to play back all audio in both Ubuntu and Ardour but can’t get any inputs.

In qjackctl, the FT shows up as hw:1. The usb device itself seems to be listed as hw:1,0.

I also have onboard sound (hw:0 and hw:0,0).

I’ve tried what seems to be all the possible combinations of settings in jack and still can’t get any audio in.

Any ideas?

All assistance, input and explanation very gratefully received

Hi Uri,

I got a FSUSB going not on buntu but on linux none the less. This link http://rocxshop.com/forum/index.php?topic=24.0 documents what I went through to get it going.

I now use the Delta-1010lt. And will never look back.

It may give you something to go on.

Hello,

I am testing M-Audio USB fasttrack pro on mandriva 2009.1 cooker
Everything are find excepted jackd do not handle 48Khz setting : it start at 44.1 ( launched by QJackCtl 0.3.4)

jackd 0.116.1 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver .. apparent rate = 48000 creating alsa driver ... hw:2,1|hw:2,1|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit control device hw:2 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames (21.3 ms), buffer = 2 periods ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 16bit little-endian ALSA: use 2 periods for capture ALSA: final selected sample format for playback: 16bit little-endian ALSA: use 2 periods for playback playback and capture sample rates do not match (44100 vs. 48000)

Tests with other sofwares :

  • audacity 1.3.6, set play/rec to hw:2,1 (portaudio V19) , quality 48Khz : It can record,play and export a 48Khz wav sample
  • vlc 0.9.8a, set is output to ALSA, set ALSA to hw:2,1 : It can play normally a 48Khz wav sample

I have already tested hw:2,0 ( 1/2 outputs ). My Kernel : 2.6.24.7-1.rt21.1mdvsmp #1 SMP PREEMPT RT
