Hi Peeps...

Tried Ubuntu Studio... while it is good as a general OS i was having real trouble trying to set up a USB input device and no one seemed able to help... or just couldn't answer on a forum for some reason...

anyhow....

I'm planning to use the ALSA supported Behringer U-Control UCA202 as the recording device cause at the end of the day..... I'm just starting out... not relly used linux properly... used as a standard desktop for checking internet and email and stuff but never ventured into things like this...

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1525 - 2x1.6 dual core processor... 4gb ram... 120gb hd... but am planning to export things to an external drive to keep as much space free as possible...

I think the main problem I was having was configuring jack but i'll get this OS on the system and have a look through the tutorial...

any help will be much appreciated!!!

Thanks in Advance!!!

Try this:

  • connect your Behringer U-Control UCA20 device
  • open a terminal with Alt+F2->gnome-terminal-> enter
  • type: sudo modprobe snd-usbaudio

Fire up Qjackcontrol and see what's cooking.

Cheers!

Hi, These commands will find info about your USB system.

$ lspci -v | grep USB $ lspci | grep USB

$ dmesg | grep USB

$ lsmod | grep usb

$ lsusb

$ grep usb /proc/interrupts

As root

tail -f /var/log/messages

Watch the messages log and plug in your device.

$ dmesg > dmesg-report.txt

$ dmesg | less [q] to exit

Cheers, dave.

does this interface work under Jack? I know that people say Alsa supports it, but I wasn't sure if Jack would be able to use it as well.
