Trying to use a firewire audio device under Chakra

Submitted by jakob on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 21:54

The interface, a Presonus Firebox, works under AVLinux, but not (yet) in Chakra. Here are some notes for debugging:

jackd output

jackd -d firewire under chakra, when the device starts syncing:

and when it doesn't (because of its internal state I think)
http://pastebin.com/wzgaqQH5

and the same command under AVLinux (output stops being produced at the end, and then jack is running & working):

... and under AVLinux:

Kernel log

Under Chakra, when inserting the cardbus port and then the interface:

In neither environment does (attempting to) start jack with jackd -d firewire cause additional kernel log messages
