Hello everyone, I'm trying to install and use zita-jacktools, but unfortunately I don't get it to work. https://media.ccc.de/v/lac2018-46-jacktools_realtime_audio_processors_as_py… I managed to compile it and install it. According to http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/zita-jacktools-available-now-td106280…, I needed also to compile zita-convolver 4.0.0 first, which I did, and which also went well. I've done the following: 1. download and unpack: - zita-audiotools - zita-jacktools - zita-jclient - zita-convolver 4.0 2. make and install zita-jclient and zita-convolver: - go to source, them make, then sudo make install 3. install zita-audiotools and zita-jacktools: - go to folder, then python3 setup.py build - then install with sudo python3 setup.py install Now I can import jacktools in Python without errors. But if I try to use it OR to run an example file (e.g. tobspect.py like in the ccc video), I get the following error: ImportError: libzita-jclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory In the nabble thread, a user said that zita-jclient is installed to /usr/local/lib64, but zita-jacktools only included /usr/lib as the library path. So I copied libzita-convolver and libzita-jclient from /usr/local/lib64 to /usr/lib, but I still get the same error message. Does someone have any hint? I'm developing a open source Python application, where I really need fast and rock solid interpolation for the mixer faders, so I'd really love to use JackGainctl for this.... Here the full error message: File "/media/sda7/Programming/Python/jacktooltest/main.py", line 3, in <module> from jacktools import jackkmeter File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/jacktools/jackkmeter.py", line 22, in <module> from jacktools.jackclient import JackClient File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/jacktools/jackclient.py", line 21, in <module> from jacktools import jackclient_ext ImportError: libzita-jclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Thank you for any help! All the best, Vince

kxstudio

by Bob van der Poel

Some time ago I installed kxstudio on my ubuntu system. I'm not sure if I was using it or not :) But I'm trying to upgrade to a new ubuntu and I get ppa not found problems so I'm trying to remove it. It appears have these 2 ppa's: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kxstudio-debian.gcc5plus.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kxstudio-debian/kxstudio/ubuntu xenial main /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kxstudio-debian.gcc5plus.list.distUpgrade:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kxstudio-debian/kxstudio/ubuntu xenial main But, I have no idea how to remove them. I've tried ppa-purge with a number of variations of kxstudio, kxstudio-debian, etc but nothing seems to work. Suggestions? -- **** Listen to my FREE CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca

Mackie 1640i i/o ports not detected in claudia, works with catia.

by AreYouLoco?

Hi, I am using KXStudio repos on Debian Testing with Mackie 1640i firewire interface on Lenovo Thinkpad T420. I followed most of this https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration to tune my system for audio work. I am starting JACKd with cadence automatically on boot. Everything seems to work fine with Ardour and even PulseAudio sink but when I run Catia (version 5:0.9.1 from kxrepos) it detects my FW device and shows I/O ports so I can patch connections but not showing the device and I/O ports in Claudia (version 5:0.9.1 from kxrepos). custom RT kernel 5.4.19-rt9-fw (I am using some patch to tune FIFO buffer on my firewire controller and get less xruns but same issue remains with stock debian RT kernel) with libffado 2.4.2-1. Here is log from jackd: https://del.dog/raw/jackd_log [GREP FOR THE ERROR LINES]. Possible important lines: ERROR: firewire MSG: Streaming thread running with Realtime scheduling, priority 30 ERROR: firewire MSG: Registering audio capture port firewire_pcm:000ff2050000145b_CH1_in If someone has some more experience with JACKd and know where to start debugging process please do post reply. Thanks in advance! AreYouLoco?

without gna.org where are jack-mixer sources hosted?

by Athanasios Silis

Hi all, ever since the shut down of gna.org jack-mixer sources are nowhere else hosted..? Or are they ? I can always find the deb packages but not the sources. The old address (still used in jack audio and linuxaudio and FSF websites) is http://home.gna.org/jackmixer/ Unfortunately, the link is not stored in archive.org. Any idea who has a mirror of the gna site or at least sources for jack-mixer ? Thank you all!

Simple Computer Speakers

by Kevin Cosgrove

Is there anything I need to look out for when searching for a pair of US $20 USB connected computer speakers. This is for background audio, not recording nor monitoring. I'm mostly interested to know how careful I need to be to make sure USB speakers work on Linux. Thanks folks! Be well...

Echo Audiofire12 units available

by Mac

If this is not allowed, board ops please feel free to remove. I'm guessing, since firewire support in Linux is moving into the sunset, that this may be of more interest to the Apple/Protools people. But, Linux is my focus, so I figured I'd offer here in case there are still some Linux holdouts. ;) I have two Echo Audiofire 12 units that I am willing to part with for a reasonable price + shipping. They are in almost new condition. Never used on the road. And have lived in a temperature/humidity controlled environment. It's not that I wouldn't be a holdout as well, but, I just don't do any work that requires the horsepower. I think they can, in fact, be used as line level mixers without firewire...though I've never used them in that way. If there is any interest, contact me directly, so as not to clutter the list. Regards, Mac

Tascam US-122: No playback channels

by Michael Jarosch

Hi! I tried to make a Tascam US-122 "Classic" work with my Debian-testing-powered Thinkpad T410. I followed the instructions on https://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-122#Tascam_US-122_on_Debian_and_Ubuntu as far as I could (alsa-base is not in Debian, anymore) but once I tried to use the device for playback in pulseaudio I realized there was no sink created. Pulseaudio offers the possibility to use the TASCAM with "multiple input" besides "stereo input" (although I thought it's a stereo in/out device) but there was no option to use it as an output. I tried to use jackd to double-check the missing output, but it failed to startup. Reason: "cannot configure playback channel" The whole log (of the important part): "jackdmp comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK server starting in realtime mode with priority 10 self-connect-mode is "Don't restrict self connect requests" audio_reservation_init Acquire audio card Audio1 creating alsa driver ... hw:USX2Y|hw:USX2Y|256|3|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|soft-mode|32bit configuring for 44100Hz, period = 256 frames (5.8 ms), buffer = 3 periods ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 24bit little-endian in 3bytes format ALSA: use 3 periods for capture ALSA: final selected sample format for playback: 24bit little-endian in 3bytes format ALSA: use 3 periods for playback ALSA: cannot set hardware parameters for playback ALSA: cannot configure playback channel Released audio card Audio1 audio_reservation_finish Cannot initialize driver JackServer::Open failed with -1 Failed to open server" Any ideas?
