[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugantic:
Hey, I wanted to say that I am really loving x3maniacs build of Ubuntu for tf101, Tubuntu, it's revitalized a piece of hardware I didn't even know needed revitalizing.

I only had one or two questions involving audio. Is there any way to get Jack Audio working on an ARM processor, this one in particular? I've read enough to know that they don't play nice together, but I've read of some success getting it to work with the ARM based Pandaboard through an external audio interface compatible with Ubuntu/Linux. I'd much rather prefer the software way, but anything would be awesome.

And I guess that's part of my second question: Is there any way to get USB midi interfaces or Audio Interfaces recognized? Maybe recognized is the wrong word, because I scanned the ports with my Korg microkey plugged in, and it saw a device labeled KORG, but I think I need to be able to use a midi softsynth like timidity or fluidsynth to have it translate to an application.

I'm already really impressed with this build, and linux in general, I know it's very midi capable, it recognized my psx controllers hooked up with a super dual box pro, and as two seperate midi game controllers no less with fully working thumb axis controllers (which is more than I can say for android).

I should also mention that I'm really interested in this because LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio), Audacity, and the Hydrogen sampler all seem to be up and running really well on Tubuntu, I mean I'm more than happy with that. I can even use an adapter to split the microphone input and audio output in the headphone jack so I can plug my guitar, bass, and microphones in and record directly into Audacity. More than I ever could've imagined doing with this hardware.

And anyone who's into audio production or beat making, you should really check out LMMS on Tubuntu, full of instruments, plugin effects, and an Sf2 (soundfont) player, all with really manageble latency considering.

so even though I'm happy where it's at, I'm just wondering if that one small, yet crucial and difficult to work around, piece can be figured out. Jack would open the system up to programs like Ardour, Rosegarden, Musecore (which actually works but crashes when you try to go into preferences and can't play sound, think it's automatically configured to jack or alsa_seq), and Traverso, which all start up, but can't really be used without Jack; or the world of guitar amp modeling, as there's a way to get a guitar signal in.

Sorry for the long post, but I am really excited by the sheer number of things that are already working in this build (not even mentioning GIMP or Libreoffice).

Really, thanks to everyone for their hard work on this. Hope to hear from someone on the issue.

Oh, and I should warn anyone who might try, excessive installing and uninstalling of audio drivers/midi drivers seems to lead to instability in the system, I've reflashed and started from scratch many times in the last few days.

Also, also, I usually found my self in search of snd-seq modprobe file/directory, that seemed to be the thing that couldn't be found and connected to jack most often.

Alright, thanks again.
