UBUNTU STUDIO HOW TO
I'm stuck at this point and don't know how to begin troubleshooting the 1010.
UBUNTU STUDIO 32 BIT
Recording WAVE '/home/chuck/test.wav' : Signed 32 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, StereoĪrecord: set_params Channels count non available With that, I attempted a basic audio capture command:Īrecord -f S32_LE -c 2 -d 10 -r 44100 -device="hw:1,0" /home/chuck/test.wav If I play one of the keyboards that is assigned to Groups 1 and 2 on the mixer, I can see the meter LEDs jump for those groups, so I should have signal coming into the 1010 on those two inputs. I'm pretty old school and have a 24 channel hw mixer (an old Tascam) where all my instruments go I have the Group 1 and 2 outputs of the mixer hooked into inputs 1 and 2 of the 1010. **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****Ĭard 0: PCH, device 0: ALC269VB Analog Ĭard 0: PCH, device 3: HDMI 0 Ĭard 0: PCH, device 7: HDMI 1 Ĭard 1: M1010, device 0: ICE1712 multi If I do a basic device listing, it seems that the system can see the aplay -list-devices I've noticed that the rack box (the actual I/O unit) has a light on the front, but it doesn't light up when I plug it in - hopefully that is a software-controlled thing and not a sign of a dead unit! I figured that it would be a good idea to try to do the most basic of tests - just to make sure that the interface is even operational (recall that I bought it used), and then move on to trying to use it in Ardour etc. I'm happy to put in the work (manuals, command line etc.) but I am well aware that Linux audio can be a "rabbit hole" so I'm hoping to try to minimize time wasted and I'm very grateful in advance for any advice. I'm hoping for a few pointers to get me in the right direction. Unfortunately most stuff on the web regarding this interface and Linux is really old, and it is hard to tell if it is still relevant (for example, there was some old stuff about using a '.asoundrc' file, but I've never used those, and couldn't tell if this is necessary to get the 1010 working).

I've screwed around in Ardour, envy24control, Qjackctrl, and some command line utilities, but I can't seem to get any sound coming into it. From what I can gather, the 1010 is pretty reliable and should work well under Linux, but I'm having a hard time getting going with it and to be honest I'm not quite sure where to start. I've recently installed Ubuntu Studio 19.10 on it.

On that previous setup things must have been pretty "obvious" with the built-in sound card, since I was able to get it to work with a bit of brute-force fiddling with connections (probably in QJackCtrl if I recall correctly).Ī while back I did a bit of research and got a used old Delta 1010 (not the LT version) off of eBay and picked up a newish machine (way better than the old P4 with 1G of ram anyhow!).

However I've never mastered the audio stack (ALSA, Jack, etc.) beyond the basics.
UBUNTU STUDIO CODE
I'm a techie guy (write mainly Python code these days for a living) and am familiar with Linux in general.

I'm trying to get back into music recording with Linux I'm not a total noob, but my first time around was with a very old P4 machine in which I just used the built-in soundcard input (sad, I know!) and mainly used Audacity on older Ubuntu Studio releases to record plain 2-track stereo jam sessions.
