Thanks for your help! This Ubuntustudio User help is a great community
Although it looks as if I'm going shopping for a new soundcard today.
I'm a graphic designer, so the sound mixing element of my day isn't
huge.
But that's about half of what this flavour of Linux is supposed to
excel in right? Who knows, maybe a career change as a DJ in a
nightclub is in order?
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks again,
Gary Ball

Hard to say why this is, but it looks like either the snd-seq-midi
module
isn't loading, or maybe it's a problem like JACK is having.
Sorry. The audio interface "hw:0" doesn't support any of the hardware
sample formats that JACK's alsa-driver can use.
That's a weird one, and doesn't look encouraging.
This is my system hardware. it's old, but so am I.
I don't even see a soundcard listed here. I eliminated things that
weren't
soundcards until the list was gone. Your subject line says "SB-awe
soundcard." Just what do you have in here? I would guess perhaps
you have
an old ISA AWE-32 in there. Is that right? That would make sense,
since
that's not a PCI card, and it didn't show up in a list of PCI devices.
If it really is an ISA card, the short story is please move along.
In fact,
let's just move along no matter what, because it doesn't sound like
this card
could be worth any struggle. No use putting a lot of effort into
getting
unsatisfactory results.
Could it be the sound card is too old? If so, can anyone recommend a
linux friendly alternative.
Almost anything manufactured after 1997 should work reasonably
well. What are
you trying to do? What's your budget?
You can go cheaper and still see acceptable results, but if you're
of a Studio
bent, you can't go wrong with anything mAudio from the Audiophile
24/96 on
up. These are good cards that work really well.
If you can't afford one of those, I can dig around to try to come
up with a
recommendation for something else of current manufacture. The
stuff I used
to recommend the most is no longer in production, and I'm not
really sure
what's out there these days, since my own soundcards are old. Just
not as
old as yours! :)
