I haven’t actually found linuxmusicians.com very helpful. Thay have a lot of unanswered questions, including mine 😊. I didn’t realize they had a facebook page, but then I boycott facebook.
Before I tried fedora jam, I tried ubuntu studio, avlinux, and kxstudio. I got nowhere with those, and couldn’t find any help – y'all are the first live humans I’ve encountered on this quest.
From what I’ve been able to tell, the ‘make music on linux movement’ started shutering a couple years ago. Then I read in Phoronix that Fedora Jam would either shuter or release a version 33. So I checked and you had a 33 download.
Fedora is really my last try at this before heading back to windows.
FYI the folks over at the Linux Musicians Facebook group are very helpful. Unfortunately, despite trying to promote Fedora Jam, I don’t think that there are very many members that have tried it, so Fedora specific info probably needs to be accessed somewhere else... Unfortunately, you have to be really lucky to get in contact with another Fedora Jam user through the general “ask Fedora” forum. That is why this list email list is important.BrianOn 1 Nov 2020, at 23.14, bruce <darkoverlordofdata@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Thank you for getting back so quickly.
This is not class compliant it’s about 15-20 years old. But there is a driver for linux, “line6usb driver version 0.9.1beta (revision 690)” and when I type in lsmod, I see snd_usb_line6 listed.
Carla does look easier than jack, but initially, I’m just seeing the same thing -system capture connected to pulse_in, and pulse_out connected to system playback. I’ll have to look for a carla tutorial, their documentation is pretty slim ;)

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

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.
