Greetings everybody,



My question here is related with running Ardour and Mixbus. I've recently bought a Behringer's UMC404HD. Differently from what I've seen around, Jack recognizes the interface, Alsa Mixer too (altough it is not on the top of the list). I can see the device under Alsa Mixer etc. I can start Jack and make all adjustments, but when I load either Ardour or MixBus, starts but sytem becomes quite unstable, no sound etc.
I have tried many things (e.g. running MixBus under Alsa>Jack etc.) But it doesn't work at all.
I've tried the Unity under Windows and it runs fine. While Installing MixBus I've got couple messages regarding processor scaling systems governor to be set as " performance" which I did (I'll try to load pics here).



enter image description here



But despite all the adjustments done, seems that the system and the interface are not getting along too well...
Most the time MixBus doesn't run at all... but even when I make it work, I can't record, play anything. Same with Ardour.



I've installed 17.10 then formated the HD and installed 16.04 and in both systems I could not make MB nor Ardour to run.



Well I hope I have provided engough information. I don't know if it is an ALSA, OR the Interface problem (Behringer says that it is USB compliant and runs OTB with Mac OS) but did not work for me at all.



Please let me know If I need to provide more info ok?



Thank you for your attention.

          I've had no problems running Ardour with UMC404HD in 64-bit 16.04. However, I had to resort to jack. Try starting jack with
          jackd -d alsa -d hw:1 -r 192000
          but firtst check your card number with
          aplay -l
          and then start Ardour
          What I cannot do:
          1. Ardour just works at 48kHz not at 192kHz as Audacity direct to Alsa
          2. Neither Ardour or Alsa can access more than a stereo channel, there are 4 inputs in this device.
          Ah, don't forget to add yourself to the system audio group.
          I hope this helps.
