Help to setup with external USB audiointerface

I have my Steinberg UR44 and it looks like it is not detected properly and it is not in the list of audiocards, but I see there is UR22 option. Is there anyone around with simple instructions for me?

Hi @tonyrewin ,
in the webconf in audio HW config “general usb sound card” should be the right choice. If it doesn’t work:

  • From the webconf you’ve got access to a linux shell terminal. Type: “aplay -l” Enter

what I’ve got:

:~$ aplay -l

  • go back to audio HW settings in webconf and change in advanced view the jackd startup commands parameters : with hw:U192k in my case instead of “hw:0” .UMC204HD (aka U192k) is my external USB sound card.

When I tried to connect my old M-Audio Fast Track card, I looked with Putty on Alsamixer as it was called from the raspberry… but then selecting “general usb sound card” I saw that it was recognized without any other problems…

Did you have any joy with this? I’m been trying to get a Roland Go:Mixer Pro-x to work and wasn’t having any luck until I read this thread.
I’ve got (under Generic USB Card)
Jackd Options: -P 70 -t 2000 -s -d alsa -d hw:PROX -r 44100 -p 256 -n 2 -X raw
Aubionotes Options: -O complex -t 0.5 -s -88 -p yinfft -l 0.5
I was starting to think that it wouldn’t work before I found this thread, then reading the message below about the the Alsa -l call and changing the hw: option I did it. Then the reboot seemed to hang. I disconnected the power and tried again (well several times, actually) and now it works! I’m thinking I might swap back and forth between my pHat DAC and the Pro-x depending on what I’m doing. I’m hoping reboots might get a bit faster, also, it looks like I might have to edit the Jackd options each time. If there were a way to save them for my genreric USB device, that would be handy.
