Tascam FW-1082

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

I understood that Tascam FW-1082 should work with jack and freebob or ffado, but I couldn’t manage to get it working.

gscanbus sees the device (as S400 Unknown):

But, when I try to start jack with freebob it acts like the device would not be supported:

— clip --clip

and with ffado (jackd -dfirewire) it says only ‘cannot load driver module firewire’

I suggest the mailing lists and other support systems at ffado.org …

Hi,
your device is marked as “unknown” in ffado project site:
http://ffado.org/?q=devicesupport%2Flist&filter0=tascam&filter1=&op2=OR
Maybe you should compile ffado to try…

and with ffado (jackd -dfirewire) it says only ’cannot load driver module firewire

-d firewire is in prevision: you must first install ffado. I think you can get packages for some distribution, but reported not so performant/stable as a self-compiled version

Hi ekam,
did you succeeded with tascam fw-1082? I tried to get this device working, but couldn’t manage that.
