Hi Daniel,
I notice that I cannot help you without enough logs with which I can
realize what happens.
At lease, 'verbose' options for aplay/arecord, '#' nodes in
/proc/asound/cardX and dmesg.
Additionally, would you please add 'LANG=C' when you get output from
software.
I cannot read Spanish language...
hi, it does not work.
Try in following steps:
1. $ arecord /tmp/test.wav -D hw:UFX1604 -c 16
(I expected you receive 'Available formats' output)
2. $ arecord /tmp/test.wav -D hw:UFX1604 -c 16 -f (here the format,
maybe S32_LE)
(I expected you receive 'rate is not accurate' output)
3. $ arecord /tmp/test.wav -D hw:UFX1604 -c 16 -f (the same above) -r
(got rate)
(I expected it will run correctly.)
I hope you to do these test when killing pulseaudio. The way is here:

New subject: Call for testing (final): ALSA driver for some firewire devices
Hi Takashi
I am testing your FFADO and ALSA drivers for a ProjectMix I/O. My goal is
to get the hardware running in Ardour3 with both a firewire interface and
MIDI controls working. I hope this is possible presently.
My configuration:
Ubuntu 14.04 (recently upgraded to get kernel 3.13 for your ALSA driver)
Installed the 3.11 firewire ALSA driver and the latest SVN FFADO driver
I have disabled PulseAudio as described
Firewire:
Your ffado-mixer opens and recognizes the ProjectMix, but I am not able to
see any reaction to the ffado-mixer sliders on the ProjectMix hardware.
ALSA:
I installed the modules with dkms. ALSA appears to identify the ProjectMix
but I am not able to route sound through aplay or arecord. I am not able to
verify MIDI to or from the ProjectMix.
Output: aplay -l
Output: /proc/asound/card1/firewire/clock
Output: /proc/asound/card1/firewire/firmware
Output: /proc/asound/card1/formation
Output: /proc/asound/card1/firewire/meter
Output: /proc/asound/card1/midi0
Output: /proc/asound/card1/pcm0c/info
Results of aplay -D hw:ProjectMix test.wav:
arecord -D hw:ProjectMix -c 8
arecord -D hw:ProjectMix -c 8 -f S32_LE
arecord -D hw:ProjectMix -c 8 -f S32_LE -r 8000
arecord -D hw:ProjectMix -c 8 -f S32_LE -r 48000
In addition to PCM streaming, I have tried monitoring the ProjectMix for
MIDI events using gmidimonitor:
gmidimonitor did not generate any midi events.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Regards,
Matt

Thanks for your trial. At first, I want to confirm which revision of
codes you use. What is the latest commit in your local repository for
ALSA drivers and which revision of FFADO you use?
Firewire:
Your ffado-mixer opens and recognizes the ProjectMix, but I am not able to
see any reaction to the ffado-mixer sliders on the ProjectMix hardware.
Please get logs and report it to me. The 'ffado-mixer' request
'ffado-dbus-server' process to execute I/O from/to devices. So what you
do is to get logs from 'ffado-dbus-server'. Follow this instruction:
1. Close ffado-mixer
2. Open your favorite terminal
3. Kill processes of 'ffado-dbus-server' because 'ffado-mixer' starts
the process with dbus help
$ killall ffado-dbus-server
4. run ffado-dbus-server with verbose option
$ ffado-dbus-server -v 6
5. run 'ffado-mixer'
It doesn't matter to run it by GUI/CUI
6. read outputs from 'ffado-dbus-server' in the terminal
ALSA:
I installed the modules with dkms. ALSA appears to identify the ProjectMix
but I am not able to route sound through aplay or arecord. I am not able to
verify MIDI to or from the ProjectMix.
In ALSA side, logs are output in /var/log/syslog. So If you have
problems, please refer to the file.
ProjectMix I/O (and Firewire 1814) can change its number of PCM channels
according to which digital interfaces are selected for input/output.
So unless you don't know the rule, 'plughw' instead of 'hw' will be
your
help. Like:
aplay -D plughw:ProjectMix /dev/urandom
arecord -D plughw:ProjectMix /dev/null
If you want to switch digital interfaces for input/output, please use
amixer/alsamixer:
$ amixer -c 1
Simple mixer control 'Clock Source',0
Capabilities: enum
Items: 'Internal with Digital Mute' 'Digital' 'Word Clock'
'Internal'
Item0: 'Internal'
Simple mixer control 'Digital Input Interface',0
Capabilities: enum
Items: 'S/PDIF Optical' 'S/PDIF Coaxial' 'ADAT Optical'
Item0: 'S/PDIF Coaxial'
Simple mixer control 'Digital Output Interface',0
Capabilities: enum
Items: 'S/PDIF Coaxial' 'ADAT Optical'
Item0: 'S/PDIF Coaxial'
Simple mixer control 'Sync Status',0
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [on]
MIDI functionality may work but there is an issue for Firewire 1814. So
I guess ProjectMix I/O also has this issue because these devices are
similar. For this issue, please see '2.Data rate for MIDI substream' in
this post:
[alsa-devel] A Restriction and rest of issues for this patchsets
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-April/075912.html
Finally, I reccomend you to subscribe/post ffado-devel because there are
some testers and users of this device.

Hi Takashi,
I was able to perform more tests (still with PulseAudio disabled).
Takashi Sakamoto wrote
I followed your request for logging ffado-dbus-server output. Attached is
the debug file captured with the following:
ffado-dbus-server -v 6 &> /tmp/ffado-dbus-server.out
I started ffado-mixer, played with most of the analoge input sliders,
auxiliary sliders, output sliders, and muted/unmuted channels. I also
manually adjusted some of the faders on the ProjectMix. The
ffado-dbus-server was then killed.
I was able to confirm that the headphone volume works through the ProjectMix
hardware when listening to random noise.
Takashi Sakamoto wrote
I was able to record and to play back using aplay and arecord and the
"plughw:ProjectMix" device. This is great! I didn't see any logs in
syslog
for ALSA.
I admit that I don't know the difference between "hw:ProjectMix" and
"plughw:ProjectMix". For instance, how should I start jackd (I use
qjackctl). Should I use the alsa or firewire driver in qjackctl? Which
device should I specify, hw:ProjectMix or plughw:ProjectMix?

When you switch these controls between 'S/PDIF' and 'ADAT', you can see
the differences of PCM channels which your jackd recognizes.

I can understand you work with recent sources.
I followed your request for logging ffado-dbus-server

ffado-dbus-server was then killed.
I was able to confirm that the headphone volume works through the ProjectMix
hardware when listening to random noise.
So in this time, ffado-mixer works fine. I think you failed because
there were several processes of 'ffado-dbus-server'. Usually just one
process can execute I/Os between devices so your 'ffado-mixer'
communicated to one of these processes which cannot execute I/Os.
I was able to record and to play back using aplay and
arecord and the
"plughw:ProjectMix" device. This is great! I didn't see any logs in
syslog
for ALSA.
I admit that I don't know the difference between "hw:ProjectMix" and
"plughw:ProjectMix". For instance, how should I start jackd (I use
qjackctl). Should I use the alsa or firewire driver in qjackctl? Which
device should I specify, hw:ProjectMix or plughw:ProjectMix?
Use hw:ProjectMix for jackd. jackd can automatically adjust the number
of PCM channels, on the other hand aplay/arecord can't.

Hi Takashi,
You have helped me to confirm that both FFADO and ALSA are working for
internal mixer level control and streaming respectively. I can also confirm
that jackd is working both with the command line configuration and when
initiated through qjackctl.
Now... what can I do to help debug MIDI communication with the ProjectMix?
This is an important feature for me as half of the hardware functionality is
as a control surface.
Regards,
Matt

I'm not sure your ProjectMix I/O has this issue or not because this is
my assumption from behaviour of Firewire 1814. Firewire 1814 and
ProjectMix I/O are quite similar. So at first I ask you to confirm
ProjectMix I/O really has this issue.
If ProjectMix I/O has buffer overflow for MIDI messages, it transmits
packets with discontinuity. ALSA driver can detect it and report it to
syslog:
kernel: [19757.225489] snd-bebob fw1.0: Detect discontinuity of CIP: E8 40
So please confirm to see such logs when sending much MIDI messages to
your ProjectMix I/O.
Thanks

Hi Takishi,
I am pleased to announce that the ProjectMix I/O MIDI works flawlessly using
Makie Control Protocol right through to Ardour 3.5.357 (default package in
Ubuntu 14.04). I use the ProjectMix as a "Mackie Control Universal Pro".
The flying faders jumped as soon as I properly connected
system:midi_capture_1 to "Mackie Control In", and system:midi_playback_1 to
"Mackie Control Out" within Ardour. I have not observed any syslog errors
yet, nor have I seen any XRuns!
I'll provide any logs or output that you would find useful.
Thanks for your input so far...you have made my purchase of a ProjectMix a
successful one!
Matt
