Hi there
I have read that it is possible to run pd using jackd with the audiotrak maya ex7, and that you can get 8 channels up on the dac~ object.
I have recently acquired a maya EX (has 6 outs, but features a digital optical input unlike the EX7). I cannot seem to convince jackd to work with the card. I guess this might be one for the jack list... but i'm starting here.
can anyone tell me if they have used this card with linux/ jackd and pd? what arguments did you use to jackd to get it to run? what jackd and alsa version are you using?
cheers

I have used it with Jack and I think, with Pd directly as well, and I now own the Terratec Aureon USB, which technically is the same device as the Maya EX. If you use Pd you probably should start Pd in alsa mode now and use -noadc as I *think* (migth be wrong) that Pd doesn't like different numbers of input and output channels.
If you want to record as well you probably need to use Jack. I don't remember the exact settings I used, but it did work. I use Jack 0.94.0. Try playing with the settings for --inchannels and --outchannels, always use 48 kHz samplerate, try different period sizes and counts

Hi
| have now mucked around a bit - the only driver i can use is the OSS one. I set it to 6 ins and outs and it seems to work (even though there are only 2 ins) - I get all 6 outputs which is great! Really I don't mind which driver i use as long as it works... I have built a simple sampler which has good enough latency with the emulated oss alsa drivers to be played from midi drums. (if anyone has tried to play a high latency sampler with midi drums, they'll know what i'm talking about...)
I launch pd with these audio flags:
pd -rt -audiodev 2 -audiobuf 15 -blocksize 64 -inchannels 6 -outchannels 6
The alsa driver seems to be massively over driven for some reason. I can't get jack to talk to the device. Strange - I had the same problem with my imic usb audio card and jack.
cheers

You mean the OSS soundcard driver from the kernel, or "pd -oss"? Generally "pd -oss" still seems to perform better than "pd -alsa" even with ALSA's OSS-emu, so if this works: don't change it, be happy!
