In a complete and utter fervor today with some newfound extra cash I

confidence was quickly shattered when I got it home, plugged it in, and did
some research on it.  There is a multitude of links out there with people
that have had problems with it in Linux, and a few have gotten it to work,
but I have no idea how.

So before I go back to the store I figured I'd reach out to the group to see
if anyone had any up-to-date information about this equipment, or if they
had any suggestions about something good I could exchange it for that might
"just work".  I need at least 3 inputs (XLR&  Quarter Inch) and cannot spend
much more than the $299 I got this M-Audio Fast Track Ultra for.

For reference sake, I'm having the exact same problem as referenced on this
forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884329
but I don't really understand the directions on how they fixed the issue.




Hello,

You could try the real-time kernel from Tango Studio. It has been patched to work with the M-Audio Fast Track Pro so maybe it also works with the Ultra.

The apt line:
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/tangostudio/ lucid-lowlatency main

Afterwards:
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install linux-realtime
apt-get install linux-headers-realtime

Then reboot into the 2.6.33-30-realtime kernel.

Best,

Jeremy
