Re: M-Audio Fast Track Pro: unreliable, distorted recording

Dear gurus (and others)

This is perhaps beating a dead horse, but I try....

I post here every fourth year or so, but now I need help from someone more knowledgeable than me again. I have used the Fast Track Ultra 8r for some time without really using it for anything serious. There have been some clicks, pops and static noises, but I have assumed it was something with my computer and did not bother to bother.

But the other day my band did a recording session on it and it then became evident that it is completely useless as it works now: I am on Ubuntu Studio 16.04 with rt kernel on the studio machine, but for testing I have now tried it on two other linux machines - one with an updated Manjaro system and one with an older Lubuntu. The noise is on all these machines. I suspected grounding so I detached the one laptop from the power, tried changing power sockets, USB cables, USB sockets and so forth, but no change. I then tried to install the drivers in OSX on the laptop - and voila - completely silent. I then tried to install the driver in windows on the Lubuntu stationary and - silent.

The noise starts as soon as linux initiates the sound-card during startup and even if it changes depending on which settings I choose in Jack etc it never goes away.

I have of course searched the internet for possible solutions but have found none that works. Since it is silent under windows and osx there has to be something with how Linux treats the card - either it is the drivers (it is supposed to be class compliant though) or something with thee USB treatment overall.

So - dear clever people: Should I abandon the card or do you have some ideas for a possible solution for me?

All the best!

I know this post is old, but has a solution been found?

I have the exact same problem. I have seen some posts reporting this issue,
but no solution. The card works well in Windows.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you are suggesting that my FTP may be
defective, that is of course a possibility. But firstly the issues I'm
having correspond with the issues the original poster had, and secondly
it
works perfectly in windows with the m-audio driver.

These two things put together suggest it is not a hardware problem with
my
FTP... At least they do to me :-)
