Hey,
I am a new user and I think I am dealing with a complicate matter, and I would probably need help.
I would like to use a firewire Audio device (RME Fireface 400) with Ubuntu 20.10. My computer doesn't have any native firewire output, so I try to connect it through thunderbolt (from thunderbolt-3 (UDB-c) to thunderbolt-2 and then to Firewire with adapters).
I try to compile my kernel adding the ieee1394 drivers and all other possible things that may help (adding the CONFIG_SND_FIREFACE). But still when I type
~$ lsmod | grep fireface
I dont get nothing. Instead, when I type
~$ lsmod | grep firewire
I get
firewire_sbp2 24576 0
firewire_core 69632 1 firewire_sbp2
crc_itu_t 16384 1 firewire_core
and When I run lsusb, I apparently see only one dongle (or maybe the second adapter is transparent):
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05ac:1657 Apple, Inc. Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter
I know that I may use FFADO, but actually the things seems to be more complicated: the problem seems actually the connection that does not work properly (with the use of two adapters).
I checked /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and there is no trace of firewire modules, and in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire.conf everything is disabled:
# Select the legacy firewire stack over the new CONFIG_FIREWIRE one.#blacklist ohci1394#blacklist sbp2#blacklist dv1394#blacklist raw1394#blacklist video1394#blacklist firewire-ohci#blacklist firewire-sbp2
Now, here the output of the following commands (when RME is connected): lsusb, lspci
rdw@rdw-linux:/etc/modprobe.d$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0781:5583 SanDisk Corp. Ultra Fit
