All inputs and outputs on it were accessible in JACK.īut I haven't had my laptop set up to record since I got my new laptop. I didn't have any problems accessing sub-devices on the MBox. I've only used one USB interface for recording music and that was a cheap, second-hand Digi-design MBox2. Recording through alsa results in a garbled low fi signal: I managed to enable the capture device in alsamixer, but the results are disapointing.
EXTERNAL USB AUDIO INTERFACE FOR INPUT PRO
I was thinking that a configuration similar to the M-Audio Fast Track Pro could be made to enable the device capabilities. I understand the NeON is a usb 1 class compliant device, but there does not seem to be any other information available in the ALSA soundcard compatibility page for this particular model.

I am using Cadence to manage jack connections. I am just getting my head around ALSA and the Jack audio server.
EXTERNAL USB AUDIO INTERFACE FOR INPUT PROFESSIONAL
I haven't tried any other distro for professional audio to be honest. The usb soundcard is indeed the ESI NeON, which is actually intergrated with a Midi interface and controller. No pulseaudio, only Alsa (and Jack audio server). It is running Arch with the 4.16 kernel, and the i3 window manager. I am on a Dell Latitude 6430 laptop with 12GB RAM, i5-3340. If you are not already using it, have you tried Ubuntu Studio? I'm just guessing that perhaps it might have an out-of-the-box solution to making your device work. desktop/laptop? Brand/model number? How much RAM? Also please tell us what Linux distro you are using (ie, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Arch, etc)? And which Linux Desktop (ie, Unity, KDE, MATE, GNOME, LXDE, etc)? We cannot exactly duplicate your setup, but it may help to at least run the same Linux and desktop as you in order to step through some menus or settings. Please tell us about your computer that you are using for this project. It's sad that the manufacturer did not provide some Linux support for their product, but that is nothing new. so this is very unfamiliar territory for me. I've never tried to connect such a device, and I also can't recall ever trying to use any audio system via USB. Let's confirm that this device (or similar) is what you're working with. Hi Dimitris, and welcome to the forums! Your sound problem is probably beyond my skill level, but I'll jump in and start with a couple more questions to help move the discussion forward.
