No Sound at all 220.4 Ubuntu studio SOLVED

[wavesound]

Hi All I did as you've all mentioned I removed all usbs,as this didn't work I fired up my old thinkpad (Ubuntu) Guess what!!!! It was the SSL failing (2 months old)

Good to hear you resolved it!

Will never use SSL again. Trawling through the net for  a new interface, linux compatible. I don't need all singing and dancing just a few nice inputs and well, works. Scarlet looking good at moas long as i can turn of the air mode.Thank you all for your help.

The irony... Mixbus is SSL now, too! 
For an interface: I'm using a Motu Ultralight AVB together with a Behringer ADA8200 for a total of 16 I/O.
The charme of it is, that the device runs a webserver for its internal DSP and through the Ethernet port this is available netwide in your network. That means you can monitor through hardware with a complete DSP mixer with EQ, Gate, Reverb, Compressor..., and the talents can have their own cue mix on their phones or tablets or what ever they bring. Saves a personal monitoring system.
I don't know if Motu still make them and you need to make sure you can "downgrade" the firmware as later firmware versions violate class compatibility and don't run with Linux - ask me for the latest working version if you want to go that way.

Another option would be using a digital mixer as an interface, I had a Qu32 for a while and was happy with it. Now I have a Soundcraft UI24R for my hardware synths, which works a charm there, too. And again has a web interface

Cheers, MMM

Hi
Thanks for this, Must be my Luck but I used anX32 Rack about a year old ( had the mixer for years). Then the usb and ethernet stopped working. It's away for repair at the moment.
I thought just get the SSL.
Then I got the black screen on login so re-installed the desktop. No Joy. I now the the tascam 1608 which causes jack to fail to start.
I think I'll bite the bullet and reinstall a new OS.
Cheers for all your help.

Can I be this unlucky.
Cheers
