<br>Anyway, the FTPro shows up smoething as:<br><br><div style="margin-left: 160px;">hw:0 outputs 1 and 2 <br></div><div style="margin-left: 160px;">hw:0,1 utputs 3 and 4, which include the inputs for Inst/line and SPDIF I/O<br>
</div><div style="margin-left: 160px;">the docs for the FTPro also mention this hen run under Windows<br></div><div style="margin-left: 200px;"><br></div>That is as far as I have gotten in any regard to functionality. Before I have read in the Ardour forum:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 120px;">"16-bit/48kHz 2 x 4 operation is class-compliant. Driver installation required to access more I/O."<br></div><div style="margin-left: 80px;">and<br></div><div style="margin-left: 120px;">
"There was a patch to get 24bit working which is now included in the ALSA sources, so there are no problems with 24bit mode."<br></div><br>As of yet, I can not verify either. I hope to report after I get Fedora 10 and Planet CCRMA running.<br>
