[LAU] Phonic Helix Board 24 on Fedora

[Jonathan Gazeley]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up my Phonic Helix Board 24 on Fedora 10. I've added 
the CCRMA repository but I'm *not* running a CCMRA kernel. I have just 
used this repository to install ffado and jack.

[jonathan at poseidon ~]$ uname -r
2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686.PAE

[jonathan at poseidon ~]$ rpm -q ffado
ffado-2.0-0.6.rc1.fc10.ccrma.i386

Starting jack gives the output below. Running as root gives exactly the same output. I've made sure that all users have read/write permissions on the firewire port (chmod a+rw /dev/fw*)

I'm a fairly experienced Linux user but I know very little about audio on Linux. Can anyone shed any light on this? I had the same Phonic device working on Fedora 8 some time ago but that computer is now a distant memory...

Any help will be gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Jonathan
