Help with StudioControls – Studio Set Up Utility
by bruce 24 Dec '20

24 Dec '20

Hi, I’ve just installed fedora jam on my spare laptop. I’ve been using windows for all my music, and I want to see what linux has to offer. I went with Jam because I wouldn’t know what software to install or how to configure it, so this seems like the place to start. But I’m not getting anywhere using it, and the wiki doesn’t seem to have much info. Here is my problem: when I plug in my audio interface (I’m using GuitarPort) I get unprocessed raw sound from my guitar in my headphones right away, before I even start anything. (Normally I don’t hear anything until the signal is routed through the amplifier software, but I’ve never used it in linux before, maybe that is expected?) I went into StudioControls -> Audio Setup -> Jack Master Setting, and I see the following: Jack Master Device (no USB): lists my sound card and my guitar port. USB device that should be Master: No USB Master. The thing is, GuitarPort *is* a USB device. No matter what I do, all I get is raw guitar output. I feel a bit like all I’m doing is closing my eyes and poking at it with a stick. Are there some instructions on how to set this up? Thanks, bruce

Line6 Guitar Port
by bruce 03 Nov '20

As you may remember, I’ve been trying to get my line6 audio interface working in fedorajam. So, I found a topic in this site linuxmao <http://linuxmao.org/line6linux#Informations> that led me to a mailing list from the developer https://sourceforge.net/p/line6linux/mailman/line6linux-user/ Looking through it, I find several users complaining that the driver broke at about kernel 3.2. The dev says it’s a change to the linux driver spec for usb that causes it, and he declines to fix it. I’m guessing this is why I couldn’t find the driver in Debian, they’ve been purging old drivers. At a minimum it affects these products: BassPODxt BassPODxt Live BassPODxt Pro GuitarPort PODxt PODxt Live PODxt Pro Pod Studio GX Pod Studio UX1 Pod Studio UX2 Pocket POD TonePort GX TonePort UX1 TonePort UX2 Now I see why the liveusb for KXStudio is ubuntu 14.04 - (kernel 3.13?). So, I tried that, and my rig works fine on it. Not that I want to use something past it’s EOL. I’m also not replacing all my Line6 equipment. Aside from the cost, it would break my sound, I’d have to start all over again building my sound. Nope. I'll stick with what is working. bruce
