Hi folks, apologies for cross post, not sure where is best bet. I have a
Presonus Firepod, and have just setup Ubuntu studio 9.10 on a gigabyte p55
mobo. I have had no luck getting my firepod working yet and am starting to
wonder if it's the firepod itself. Can anyone tell me what exactly is
supposed to happen with one when you plug it in and turn it on? On my mac,
the light would turn blue. When I turn it on now, the light turns blue
during power up, then goes back to red, with a brief blue blink. I don't see
any entry in /dev for /dev/raw1394.
Any tips on diagnosing this much appreciated!
thanks
iain

You need to start jackd with the firewire-driver it is easy with qjackctl.
Check with UbuntuStudiocontrol that you have firewire (IEEE1394)
accessable for group audio.
The firepod is well supported, once jackd is running, you`ll see the
blue light again ;-)
thanks

Thanks Harmut! A few questions:
- so the blue light will not turn blue again until jack is running with
freebob?
- should /dev/raw1394 appear as soon as I turn it on/plug it in? ( It's not
doing that, though it appears if I modprobe raw1394 )
- is the firewire driver freebob or FFADO?
- where is this ub

New subject: presonus firepod
Anyone know how many PreSonus Firepods can be run at one time, and
whether they'll sample synchronize to each other?
Thanks....

There are ffado/freebob users running three firepod parallel. But that is
probably not the maximum.
They have to be synced either by spdif or "SYT match", the later being a
firewire feature not requiring extra cables. The setting of the sync-source is
to be done in ffado-mixer by hand, they won't auto-sync.
Have fun,
Arnold

The blue light stands for streaming _and_ synced. It will light up when
running streaming alone. It will not light up when you set sync to spdif when
no spdif source is connected while you try to start streaming.
- should /dev/raw1394 appear as soon as I turn it

Only if you use the old firewire stack. Make sure there are no modules loaded
with firewire in their names. Then make sure ohci1394 and raw1394 are loaded.
- is the firewire driver freebob or FFADO?
"jackd -dfirewire" will use the new FFADO driver.
"jackd -dfreebob" will use the older FreeBob driver.
Both work fine with the firepod, but only ffado-mixer allows to set the sync-
source. But you can use ffado-mixer to control the settings while using freebob
for streaming:-)
Have fun,
Arnold
