Re: saffire 6 usb on ubuntu?

[Stefan Thomas <kontrapunktstefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear community,
I've started Ubuntu with the Unity-Desktop and there it was no problem. The card worked fine, although the output seems to rather soft.
Maybee it's a problem of the xfce-desktop.

Dear community,
 I've borrowed now a saffire 7 usb focusrite and I'm trying it on Ubuntu 0412
The card is recognized.
After

cat /proc/asound/cards

I get

0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xea200000 irq 55
 1 [UM1            ]: USB-Audio - UM-1
                      EDIROL UM-1 at usb-0000:05:00.0-1.1, full speed
 2 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xe3080000 irq 17
 3 [S6USB20        ]: USB-Audio - Saffire 6USB2.0
                      Focusrite Saffire 6USB2.0 at usb-0000:05:00.0-2, high speed

But I can't get sound out of it. I tried it with
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=S6USB20 myfile.mp3
but I got

Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=hw=S6USB20'

Also I can't find an interface called usb or saffire in qjackctl. What can I do now?
