I have a Dell Studio 1537 which has a 4 pin 1394 connector
I checked to see if my Ubuntu 10.10 upgrade would allow my Presonus
Firebox to work
which it allegedly does:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/33
but my system didn't recognize my Firebox after plugging it into my Dell
using a 4-pin to 6-pin cable
so of course I'm wondering if I need to buy an ExpressCard Firewire
adapter and if that would work
does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this before I trot
off to Fry's in search of said adpater?

Hi,
I presume your aware that the 4 pin Firewire (1394) connector doesn't supply
power, and
you'll need to provide power seperate to the unit. (DC adapter)
Also, you sa "the system doesnt recorgnize" your FireBox, did you try start
JACK? Or what
did you do to try it out?
Also: what does the following command produce (prints out if your firewire
modules are loaded) :
lsmod | grep 1394
Cheers, -Harry

Ubuntu 10.10 uses the new JuJu stack by default so this command will
probably yield nothing. Haven't tried the new stack myself so I'm not
sure though. But it might be better to install the ffado-tools package
and run the ffado-diag command afterwards.
Best,

I presume you've installed the "standard" FFADO from the Ubuntu repo?
I've had trouble with JACK1 and that. I'm currently running JACK2 (version
1.9.6)
from "Frasten"'s PPA.
FFADO from the TangoStudio repo, version 2.0.1 - svn1856.
That combo runs fine, but not at extreme low-lat. (I've always had better
experience with JACK 1 for < 10 ms lat)

Hmm sure you tested both on the
exact same system? JACK is not the only
factor when it comes to latency...

what is odd is that firewire audio/video is reported to work out of the
box on Ubuntu 10.10
and I don't want to upgrade to Jack2 since Synaptic wants to wipe all my
audio apps with the install
not sure why this is unless none of the apps support Jack2 in which case
I'll pass on installing it

I'm going to buy an
Expresscard -> Firewire adapter and see if that
works -- something about the 1394 connector on the Dell laptop makes me
suspicious for some reason

Hmm - a Jack2 compiled with a different system library?
I switched from Jack1 to Jack2 quite awhile ago, and it didn't uninstall any audio
apps.

It's been a while since I dealt with packaging, but IIRC the correct way to do this is
to have the JACK package and the JACK2 (jackdmp 1.92) package be "alternatives"
to each other.
This is, for example, how you can switch your MTA from Sendmail (eek!) to Postfix to ssmtp
to whatever, without everything that depends on it being nuked.
You might want to file a bug with Ubuntu. They dropped the ball on this one.

The proper way is for both to provide a 'jack', which would be a
virtual package. Your apps should stay content as long as the 'jackd'
binary exists, i.e they should never explicitly depend on a 'jack1' or

The messages there suggest that your not allowed access the device. As Roy
mentioned previously,
check /dev/fw0 and ensure your use has access:
try (as a normal user):
$ ls -l /dev/fw0
And check the permissions. Adding an "Audio" group is a good idea if you
don't have one already.
Alsp check your memlock settings, as this line looks quite suspicous to me:
Cannot lock down memory area (Cannot allocate memory)
All the best, -Harry
PS: 1.9.x is known as JACK 2. Yup you've got JACK 2 :-D

For a quick check that it's working run jarckd as root:
$ sudo jackd -d firewire
Setting permissions on the /dev/fw* files will only work temporarily.
When you unplug and replug your device the file(s) will be re-created
with the default (root) permissions. You need to create a udev rule.
Here is the file that I created:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-firewire.rules
KERNEL=="fw*", GROUP="audio", MODE="0664"
This will cause the fw* files to be created with audio as group, and the
right permissions. Obviously you also need your user to be a member of
audio.
