I'm dying to know what is to be expected to work and what isn't. Could you who have it working tell if there still are any issues left?

Kind regards, Joel

I would strongly advise against upgrading ALSA this way on Ubuntu, especially with options like --with-cards=all. If things go wrong you'll have no sound at all and you probably won't get it back either unless you know what you're doing.

Is there any particular reason these patches haven't made it upstream yet?

Hi you all

it seems that a french guy was able to make work the Fast Track Ultra (= FTU)

I don't understand the french language but, it seems, he applied the previous patch to the kernel and then recompiled it again, and now the FTU works.

here is the link:
http://www.linuxmao.org/tikiwiki/tiki-v ... ntId=16414

hope this help!


ps: here the english translation of the above site:

Hi, musicians!,

in kernel 3.x there is support for FastTrack Ultra. Also there is support for the internal mixer. 128 faders :-). AnalogIn(1-8)->AnalogOut(1-8) and DigitalIn(1-8)->AnalogOut(1-8). Probably, still is not possible to control internal DSP effects and switch clock source to S/PDIF.

I WOULD LOVELY ACCEPT THE PATCHED ALSA FILE

Mod: Please do not post your e-mail address. And you can find the patch here: http://joegiampaoli.blogspot.nl/2011/06 ... linux.html

Hello ! did anyone solve it ?
I tried apply this patch....

Code: Select all

The MIDI interface is class compliant, and this is what's shown by Jack.
The audio interfaces are marked as vendor specific, so the driver needs
to be changed to support them.

Please try recompiling your kernel with the patch below.

Some M-Audio devices use big-endian samples, so beware of speaker-
killing noise.

It's possible that playback synchronization doesn't work completely.

Please check what happens when you try to play and record with different
sample rates.

But i got these errors:

2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file usbaudio.c.rej
patching file usbquirks.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 1818 with fuzz 2 (offset -46 lines).

Maybe if anyone help me step to step to recompile the kernel (because i read it got many errors for many people) i would be so grateful !
Thank you !

My FTU worked "out-of-the-box" with 14.04. Audio for sure. MIDI ports show up, and I think I might have tested it once (I don't really use MIDI).

The only "special" thing I had to do was open an ALSA mixer (CLI or GUI both work) and make sure that each physical input was turned all the way up for its corresponding USB output, and all the way down for the other USB outputs. Also, all the physical ins to physical outs should be down all the way. The device remembers these settings, so you only have to do this once. All of the routing is available, including effects, etc. If you got it used, check the rest of the routing, too - you don't want unexpected reverb. The internal routing is nice for latency-free monitoring, too.
All in favor of Linux, say 'aye.'
