Amazing setup! I'm excited for 24ch
wrapped into 1 device.
I don't know if the linux ui for it is still maintained (I think
Fons in the group did it...maybe it was just the FFADO devs).
In Ubuntu Studio
20.04
FFADO still works with mine. The ALSA stck work with it too, but
where I was able to run with jack/ffado at 16/2, the best I ever got
with ALSA 256/2. to use FFADO the alsa FW modules need to be
blacklisted. The list of modules is:
blacklist snd-firewire-lib
blacklist snd-isight
blacklist snd-dice
blacklist snd-fireworks
blacklist snd-bebob
blacklist snd-oxfw
blacklist snd-firewire-digi00x
blacklist snd-firewire-tascam
blacklist snd-firewire-transceiver
blacklist snd-firewire-motu
blacklist snd-fireface
but probably only the -lib and the -fireworks are all you need.
They are a nice interface. You will want to use ffado-mixer to make
sure there are no inputs directly feeding outputs (mine has 1&2
straight through) I have a script that runs at boot time that does it
all:
#!/bin/bash
# some things to make our audiofire behave right.
# set clock to internal:
ffado-test --quiet --node=0 SetClockSource 0
# mute input channels 1&2 to outputs 1&2
dbus-send --session --dest=org.ffado.Control --type=method_call \
--print-reply \
/org/ffado/Control/DeviceManager/0014860268b568f1/Mixer/MonitorMute \
org.ffado.Control.Element.MatrixMixer.setValue int32:0 int32:0
double:1
dbus-send --session --dest=org.ffado.Control --type=method_call \

Thank you Len for the script, blacklist tips, etc..! I'll def be running
jack/ffado. Will any of this ever be wrapped into Studio Controls or is
firewire too much way of the dodo?
Thanks again for the info!
