After some fooling with the code ffado recognises the card and jackd seems to interface fine with them. However, no sound will come out of the sound card no matter what I do. Jack sees all the channels and the card lights up like a nice christmas tree, but no joy. I was wondering whether any Saffire user on this list might give me a hint. I can always use my own trusty ittle UA25EX, but the saffire would be more convenient. Anyway... Any pointers would be much appreciated.

There's a known issue with these devices and the new Firewire stack that

causes exactly the problem you're describing. I'm pretty sure the

problem turned out to be in the libraw1394 library, and it's since been

fixed, so if you have a very recent version of that library it should

fix the issue.
Otherwise, you can switch back to the old Firewire stack. I'm still

running Ubuntu 10.10 on my music PC so I can do just that on my Saffire

PRO40, which has the same issue; there are some notes on how to switch

stacks here:

Thanks
