I have a Dell XPS 15 7590. <br><br>Try JACK with the firewire drivers.<br><br>Devices attached to the Thunderbolt port may require permissions to connect to the port. But I have a Dell Thunderbolt 3 dock (need for Ethernet and more USB ports), that may have required the permissions. There's a settings area in the Dell BIOS that controls Thunderbolt permissions.<br><br>I've heard that this chain of adapters works: Firewire device to Apple's FW to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor, then to a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter. Someone (not me) on the list mentioned that they had it working some time ago.<br><br>When I got it, I had read that Ubuntu 19 supported the Thunderbolt dock but 18 didn't. I tried both, neither worked. 18 crashed when installing, 19 installed but with no network connection. This was all before Ubuntu 20 was around.<br><br>Debian 10 installed and works fine. There's some Linux commandline tools for managing Thunderbolt devices. You might want to add them.<br><br>I can check later, I think I still have the relevant pages bookmarked on my laptop.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On July 5, 2020 8:48:57 AM HST, di.heumo@gmail.com wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Composer/musician using Supercollider, I just moved from MacOS to Ubuntu 18.04. I was under the impression that the Edirol FA101 firewire audio interface should be working on Ubuntu, but I find it hard to figure out where to begin. The device is connected with an adapter to a Thunderbolt port on my Dell laptop. cat /proc/asound/cards does not show the device unfortunately. </p>
