Running jack -d firewire works and opens ffado streaming from the device. I followed this thread, and it worked the same for the io 26.Д«asically dl ffado () from the unstable svn trunk:Д¬onfigured with ENABLE_DICE=true, and compiled. On a Macbook core 2 Duo 2 GHz ram running Ubuntu Studio 8.04 This needs further testing of course, but looks like an exciting marrriage. It worked wonderful with multichannel Ardour, Supercollider etc. I got my Alesis io 26 working on Linux yetserday through ffado's unofficial support.

I tried re-installing the drivers and firmware today but nothing changed. SO, I plugged it back into the built-in port and rebooted, and since then have rebooted many times, and although my system recognizes the device, there is absolutely no audio coming in through it, and my recording software (ableton) does not recognize it. However, it was a very crackly, stuttery sound in the card and I attributed that to the fact that I also had an external hard drive plugged into the card running at the same time (that's just my guess). I have a built in IEEE1394A connection which I was using before to connect the alesis, but when i got this card I plugged the alesis into it instead, to see if it improved performance at all. I have a Compaq presario v2000 and I am using a USB 2.0/firewire adapter in the cardbus pc card slot. I have a problem with my io26 that I haven't been able to find elsewhere in this forum.

The only downside to 4-pin is that you have to use a power adapter.

I have had an alesis io26 for around 2 years and have used the 4-pin firewire connection on my laptop, so I disagree with Haduj's statement.

Oh, and just in case these laptop users didnt know already, the small 4pin laptop connectors on firewirecables will not work, you have to have a full size 6pin slot to use this device. You do have to set it to ADAT(using the Behringer as the clock source) however, unless you have a separate syncgen(wordclock).Дell inspirion 530 quad with 3g 800mhz ramДЄlso I noticed the only way to get windows system sounds through the Alesis, in Vista is to have sampling rate at 48khz, Now it works fine in xp and I even tested it out with the adat light pipe connected to a ADA8000. Others had warned that the vista drivers just werent ready for distro, and I suspected they were right. Nothing really helped, untill I tried a dual boot with XP as I was using Vista which came on the system. I was very frustrated to find out that I was getting static, pops and dropouts like many of the other io26 users.
