ola,

it's not OT at all !!
unfortunately, we had similar problems
with an Edirol Fa-101 on
a Powerbook running Gentoo.

i updated all libraries needed to latest
CVS/SVN versions without success,
what all was working fine on a PC.

some people told me it might be a problem with the onboard
firewire board,
so i'd really want to know if someone had some success
with this or if we should use
an external firewire card?

saludos,
sevy

Hello list,

Sorry if this is too OT, but I think some people here might have/had the same problem.

The recipe for fun is as follows:

12" Powerbook G4 1.33ghz
Presonus firebox
Debian testing/Lenny
2.6.22.9 kernel compiled for low latency
Jack 0.103.0-6
Hans' Pd-extended 0.39.2-rc5

So far I have managed to get the firebox recognized by jack using Freebob. When I start Jack, the Firebox's light turns blue, and it shows up in the patch window. When I start Pd, I can set it to use Jack as it's interface, and Pd, too, shows up in the patch window.

This sounds like it's working fine, but when I try to open a patch or turn on the DSP in Pd, it hangs indefinitely until I killall pd. Then of course Jack freaks out, and I have to killall jackd too.

I should point out that Pd works fine without Jack, using OSS and the onboard soundcard, but not with ALSA. Starting jack with ALSA and the onboard card gives me A/D/A sync errors.

I hope that somebody here can help out. I'm not a total nub, but this has me stumped. Google's and forum's have turned up no useful info.

Thanks alot,

Cory
