      Hi,
        First : this list is kind of dead, at least you won't have
          too many mail from it.
        Then about you interface, I guess it is the Line 6
          GuitarPort.
        I could not find whether it is Class Compliant or not. 
          (Some interfaces require a driver and will only work on
          Windows/MAc)
        

        You could try to connect it to various USB ports on you PC
          and 
        - type "dmesg" in a console just after having plugged the
          USB, to see what is recognized.
        - If the console is too alien for you.  Launch QJack
          (graphical application that should be already installed) ; Go
          to "Setup ..." and look at the "Interface" drop down list if
          you can see your interface.
        

        That would be a start.
        

        Note that until your interface is recognized the
          distributions or applications you are using won't make a
          difference.  Let's first solve that
        

        Regards
        Bruno

                        Hi,
                              I’ve just installed fedora jam on my spare
                              laptop. I’ve been using windows for all my
                              music, and I want to see what linux has
                              to offer. I went with Jam because I
                              wouldn’t know what software to install or
                              how to configure it, so this seems like
                              the place to start.  
                        

                        But
                              I’m not getting anywhere using it, and the
                              wiki doesn’t seem to have much info. 
                      
                      
                        Here
                              is my problem: when I plug in my audio
                              interface (I’m using GuitarPort)
                              I get unprocessed raw sound from my guitar
                              in my headphones right away, before I even
                              start anything. (Normally I don’t hear
                              anything until the signal is routed
                              through the amplifier software, but I’ve
                              never used it in linux before,
                              maybe that is expected?)
                        

                        I
                              went into StudioControls ->
                              Audio Setup -> Jack Master Setting, and
                              I see the following: 
                      
                      
                        Jack
                              Master Device (no USB): lists
                              my sound card and my guitar port.  
                      
                      
                        USB
                              device that should be Master: No USB
                              Master.  
                        

                        The
                              thing is, GuitarPort *is*
                              a USB device. No matter what I do, all I
                              get is raw guitar output. I feel a bit
                              like all I’m doing is closing my eyes and
                              poking at it with a stick. Are there some
                              instructions on how to set this up? 
                      
                      
                        Thanks, 
                      
                      
                        bruce

    So, QJackCtl is overly-complicated, and unless you know what
      you're doing it should be avoided. This is why I started including
      Studio Controls with Jam. Studio Controls simplifies it.
    And, I'm sorry I'm just now answering this. My time is quite
      limited this weekend due to family events.

    
    What it looks like is that the device is being recognized, JACK
      is starting, but the device isn't being patched to the outputs.
      Open Carla, and click on the Patchbay tab. From there you can drag
      a wire from your input to whatever output (or plugin input) you'd
      like. Carla is a plugin host, so think of it as an effects rack or
      an equipment rack, and the patchbay as a patchbay, or the back of
      said rack.
    I hope that helps.
