Card detected but not available #39

Closed epifanio closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I followed the installation steps and after the first reboot I was able to see my MOTU UltraLite mk3 Hybrid FW-USB2 in the audio settings .. then suddenly it disappeared and no way I can get it back :(

The card works fine on the same system running windows OS, but I do not use that OS. Just to make sure the fireware pci-e card was working.

05:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments XIO2213A/B/XIO2221 IEEE-1394b OHCI Controller [Cheetah Express] (rev 01)

The card seems to be detected properly, see bottom:

But it does not show up in the audio settings. Neither in pavucontrol, anything I can do to debug the issue?

Thanks for the report.

The device, MOTU Ultralite mk3 hybrid is one of my test device, and in my system I can not regenerate such trouble.

I guess that the difference in regard of system might bring the trouble. Would I request you to give information about your system; e.g. the type of distribution, kernel version, your additional configuration, and so on?

Sure, I it is an ubuntu 21.10 running latest kernel available:

Linux 5.13.0-14-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 2 12:43:35 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I did mess around with ffado-svn driver before, with no good results .. I do not know if it has something that generates a conflict with the Alsa driver. the weird is that for a while I was able to see the mk3 in the audio settings in ubuntu gnome ..

Which specific information can I provide to help you debugging the issue?

the ffado-mixer shows this:

OK! Think I found the "non-issue" ... it simply when I switched Input from the gnome audio settings, in the specific .. when I switched from MK3 input the the headset mic... I notice that in pavucontrol configuration the MK3 device profile goes automatically to OFF .. and then it is no longer available as device for the system. I didn't know this .. switching it back to "Multichannel Input" gave me a working microphone!
