Dear All,

I am quite a linux newbie, but am trying o slowly migrate from os x to linux (possibly UbuntuStudio) for audio work.

I have installed UbuntuStudio on an old PC to give it a try. Now I am trying to get a USB M-audio interface (transit) working on it - I will soon add firewire port to the PC and try to set up my presonus Firebox (I'll save this for another post!) but for now I have to put up with the rubbishy USB device.

So far I have had no joy installing the transit. I have read all these posts and followed all the instructions but no change.

So I have installed madfuload successfully. When I type lsusb I can see the M-audio listed.

But I cannot access the interface in anyway - e.g. the only sound card listed in sound preferences is the internal sound-card of the computer and invoking "cat /proc/asound/cards" only lists the internal sound card.

I would really appreciate any suggestions to get my first Linux mission working :-)

Many Thanks
