I am having troubles with my Ubuntu Studio 8.10:
- It came with Ardour ver. 2.5, aside from sound input problems
(which I shall try to briefly address below), that version gave (&
now again,
gives) me problems. I believe I need to uninstall the
earlier version
to reinstall 2.7.1, is this correct... & if so, I do not
have the
source folder to do a 'make uninstall' command, & the synaptic
package manager wants to take out 'ubuntustudio sound' if I go this
route. Is Ardour 2.7.1 even compatible with Studio 8.10, & if it is,
I am wondering why was it not included in this system upgrade,
including the latest version of jack & qjackctl? What to do?
- There was, a while back, some discussion regarding Pulse audio
(& possibly OSS), I do not wish to reignite that discussion
(I think I do not wish to use them), but I
do think some one mentioned taking Pulse Audio out (possible conflict
w/ Alsa???). Is there some way to do this (or even determine if this
might have some conflict with my sound card/alsa setup (including
OSS?)? My sound card
is MiaMidi (Echo Corp., manufactured).
- The sound preferences control panel also has a very confusing
array of options... which I may need to get back on, that is if the
possible solutions mentioned to the above are not resolving my no sound
input problem... (by the way, the sound input I am trying to connect from
(I say from, because I get sound out, just fine) is a
s/pdif from my Yamaha 01v digital mixer. & I do get
internal sound to run some radio/sound players, the echomixer does seem
to control the digital output of the Yamaha 01v, but no sound to the
above mentioned programs (& also, not exclusive to Ardour) etc.,
but cd players are another matter, or should I say, puzzle for me at
the moment; first things first).
Please feel free to ask for any clarifications (I have been trying my
best since my foray to Ubuntu, going on a year now to resolve with out
adding to the oft heard battle cry: "I can't get no sound), etc. Any
help would be, as usual, most appreciated.
