Making an M-AUdio Quad 4 work

edcompsci · Post by **edcompsci** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 10:51 pm

I would very much like to make an M-Audio Quad 4 work on my LMDE system. Has anyone tried this?

I tried downloading this firmware from sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/usb-mi ... -firmware/but haven't gotten it to compile yet.

If I can get someone's attention on here who's also interested in making it work maybe I can send you what I'm getting when trying to compile it and get some help?

Just throwing it out there.

Hi edcompsci,

Let's take a slightly different approach. Is the device recognized? Let's see the output of lsusb and pacmd list-cards please.

Okay, the lsusb output saw it, but PulseAudio isn't seeing it yet.

Let's get a look at your full sound setup with this command:

Ewww, even ALSA isn't recognizing it as an audio device.

Run this in the terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe snd_usb_audio

If there's no error, see if the device appears in your sound settings at all. I'll see if I can find out anything else for a situation like this.

MrEen · Post by **MrEen** » Wed Dec 16, 2020 10:39 pm

One thing that works for some is to unplug the device then plug it back in. Try that, then see if pacmd list-cards show two cards instead of one.

MrEen · Post by **MrEen** » Wed Dec 16, 2020 10:46 pm

If all the above fails to help, try this:

In the terminal run sudo killall fwupd then unplug/replug the device.

I see a MIDI device in jack now, I'll have to see if I get a sound after connecting input to output. Screenshot attached.

MrEen · Post by **MrEen** » Thu Dec 17, 2020 9:52 pm

Things are looking better. Fingers crossed!

edcompsci · Post by **edcompsci** » Thu Dec 17, 2020 10:02 pm

so the m-audio device accepts input from just 5-din midi in (and has out of output) and for an ordinary guitar cable.
Not getting any sound. I have lmms open and audacity open. I'm not sure what the missing link is that will get me sound. I think it sees the device but the device firmware is not installed so I get no sound.

MrEen · Post by **MrEen** » Thu Dec 17, 2020 10:07 pm

I know I could get LMMS to work without using JACK with my USB MIDI keyboard. I haven't played with JACK in so long that I don't remember what is necessary there anymore, but I can say that the connections don't really look correct. There should be lines crisscrossing showing various connections.

Hopefully someone that uses JACK will see this thread and chime in.

edcompsci · Post by **edcompsci** » Fri Dec 18, 2020 9:28 pm

Thanks for trying. I have it going through my computer and output to my home stereo receiver, so maybe if I make less factors of confusion I can figure something out.

MrEen · Post by **MrEen** » Fri Dec 18, 2020 10:14 pm
