I seem to have narrowed it down to dependence on the setting of 'Clock Mode'. I do a lot of recordings from a 48kHz optical source plugged into the S/Pdiff optical input. Seems to be that clock the kernel can't use. Probably because it has somehow changed the device to 44.1kHz (via 192kHz) and then demands a 44.1kHz clock. If I set Clock Mode to internal, before booting Linux, or after a failed start up, I see fewer 'clock source 1 is not valid' messages in /var/log/syslog and jackd will work as usual. I've even had sound in my (FireFox) browser, so Alsa must be working. If I don't set Clock Mode to internal, /var/log/syslog gets the full compliment of 6 blocks of 40 'not valid' messages, ending with: [pulseaudio] module-udev-detect.c: Tried to configure /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-14/1-14:1.0/sound/card2 (alsa_card.usb-MOTU_UltraLite_AVB_0001f2fffe005ded-00) more often than 5 times in 10s. It had to be something like that.. Was doing my ed in a bit. Big clue to the problem right there in the device's LCD display. If the sample rate indicator keeps flashing - it isn't going to work. -- John. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
