I'm starting it with jackctl, here's the command line that it appears to have generated: /usr/bin/jackd -R -P89 -dfirewire -r44100 -p1024 -n3 (My entire jackd log is posted as an attachment to ticked #140 on the ffado.org tracker) > > also, what firewire chipset are you using? i had one chipset that just > wouldn't work at all with the saffire, but after changing it over for > another everything was perfect. The laptop's built-in firewire port usesa VIA controller. Also on that ticket are posted the output of lshw and ffado-diag on my system. I also have a firewire-equipped desktop, but that box is currently running without a gui and only 256M of RAM. When my newegg order arrives, I'll certainly give it a try there as well. -- Rick Green "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
