Hi,
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Just received an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB interface. It's
recognised when inserted, snd_usb_audio loaded, and Qjackctl sees it.
But if I try to start jackd it fails.

Jack starts fine with the onboard ones.
I've not used a USB interface before. Is there something else I need to
do? Do I need a specific driver?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

An update on this: M-Audio have just told me that the Fast Track Ultra
uses a different chipset to the other Fast Tracks (though they couldn't
say what it was). Has anyone had any luck with one of these yet?
Thanks again,
Ian
