Re: unable to record using M-audio Fire wire solo sound card
I assume no-one answered because they don't understand the question.
M-Audio is not intended by the manufacturer to be used on Linux so you will always rely on the core Firewire support in the Linux kernel and possibly extra Linux-specific drivers written by the ALSA community. Have you looked for or downloaded special drivers from the Ubuntu or ALSA Forums?
What exactly are the symptoms of the problem? Have you restarted Audacity after connecting the M-Audio? Does the computer recognise the M-Audio?
