Hello all-
I've been setting up a digital audio workstation using Fedora 8 and the PlanetCCRMA
realtime kernel. I've got an M-Audio Fast Track Pro connected via USB for audio and
MIDI i/o.
A log of my efforts is here:

Everything has worked out great so far, *except* for recording.
When I attempt to record audio using the Fast Track Pro, I hear a *lot* of line noise.
It doesn't seem to matter what input I use (1/4" jack or XLR), nor does adjusting
the sample rate or frame count. I get the hiss recording a guitar (direct line) or mic.
I don't see any xruns.
The Pro appears to have some sort of noise gate? Certainly it is quiet until I start
playing, at which point I'll hear the guitar plus a lot of hiss. Other parts of my
sound gear don't show this symptom.
Any ideas? I'm hoping this is due to bad Alsa/JACK settings and not to the Fast
Track Pro.
- Try a different USB port
- See if you can reproduce the problem on another OS
