    How to work with MBox2, Ardour3 and UbuntuStudio

    Hi,
    I would like to work with the 2-channel USB audio peripheral MBox2.
    It should work with Linux (my kernel 3.19.0-15-lowlatency) due to http://www.zamaudio.com/?p=97 (¨the Mbox2 driver stuff is part of Linux kernel after 3.8! Just plug in your device, lights come on and it works. Any config issues with JACK, make sure you are using the ALSA backend and 2 ins and 2 outs, >256 buffer size and 3 periods").
    And (see attachment) it looks good!
    But I don't understand how to let MBox work with Ardour3.
    I've tried to start a new session, in the Audio/MIDI setup popup Ie choosed Mbox as device (Audio System: Jack, Driver: Alsa, Frequency: 44,1Khz, buffer: 1024 samples. But a popup says: Could not reconnect to the Audio/MIDI engine.

    Sorry, I'm new with an external audio peripheral and to Ardour

    Instead I've tested Audacity: in this case I can record from MBox...

    I've also tried to kill pulseaudio and start jack

    Code:
    pulseaudio --kill
    Code:
    jackd -t 200 -p 2048 -R -T -d alsa -n 2 -r 44100 -p 1024 -d hw:MBox,0
    but

    Code:
    jackdmp 1.9.10

    a partial solution was:

    - Open QjackCtl
    - Click on SetUp (Impostazioni): both input and output (dispositivo d'entrata e dispositivo d'uscita): hw:MBox
    - Close SetUp
    - Start JACK

    - open Ardour
    - create two new Tracks for the two audio line of MBox
    - click on the record button on both tracks, on record button on the top-bar and then play... it'll record!

    now I cannot hear any sound, that's the next problem.
