PreSonus FIRESTUDIO project / Linux / HOW ???

[Zergei72]

Trying to get my FIRESTUDIO project working on Linux ... Ubuntu Studio and KXStudio tested so far ;
When I boot my PC the connection led on the interface is red and when the OS is fully loaded
the led goes briefly to blue and then returns to constant red .

When I start Ardour 5 the audio setup windows sees the interface correctly in / output device : FireStudio Project, but when I click
to start the audio engine it says, "Failed to open the audio device ." .

There's no sign of the PreSonus in Qjackctl, though .

If anyone's had success with this interface, please share it

Are you trying to use Jack or ALSA?

OK ...

Went ahead to try the latest AVLinux 2017 on my other pc ...
this one has no mobo integrated firewire-port, so I invested in a DELOCK PCI Express firewire expansion card .

After starting QJackCtl using ALSA I got the connection working ... the connection led stays now constantly on blue .

I got this far using a LIVE-USB-disk ...

See how it'll end up after installing to HDD

Any suggestions are wellcome though ...
