hi list,

I have a edirol fa-66 but don't know how to get it working.
I'm using ubuntu studio 8.04

I tried with jack + Freebob and it works for some seconds/minutes...
starts with:

libiec61883 warning: Established connection on channel 0.
You may need to manually set the channel on the receiving node.
libiec61883 warning: Established connection on channel 1.
You may need to manually set the channel on the transmitting node.

and soon it freezes or crashes with this message:

LibFreeBoB ERR: watchdog: timeout

06:49:15.279 JACK is being forced...

cannot complete execution of the processing graph (Sucesso)

zombified - calling shutdown handler

I got the  FFADO repositorie for ubuntu and installed it all.
But when I try to use it, I got the same error messages...


My firewire controller (lspci) is:
FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 05)

I have no problem of changing my distribution, if that would get the equipment to work stable.
Is there a distro where it works better?

thanks for the help anyway! Hope someone can give me some advice.
