Audio mixer points

Hi everybody. First time posting right here.

I simply purchased a TASCAM Model 24 and I’m having some points with getting the entire ports right down to 2.

I’m utilizing a Dell XPS tower with an i7 CPU, 32gb of RAM together with 2 screens. It’s at present working ArxoLinux with the Cinnamon Desktop.

So, my challenge is, I can solely hear (and see) the primary 2 ports on the mixer. The relaxation are usually not seen or audible in any kind. I can hear all the pieces direct by means of the mixer advantageous. It’s simply the remainder of the ports don’t make it to the pc.

Yesterday, I used to be in a position to get the entire ports I’m utilizing to be seen with Ardour. I might see the meters shifting for every port I had assigned to a drum after I hit every drum which is sweet. But after I tried sending that to OBS, it could not see the mixer in any respect.

What I learn final evening is I should be utilizing jack solely. This model of Linux I’m working got here with pulseaudio and it is most likely inflicting the problem. Jack and pipewire are put in as effectively however I feel pulseaudio is inflicting pipewire and Jack to type of take a again seat right here. I’m not 100% positive on that although.

If anybody has any concepts on what I can do to repair this, I’m prepared to do absolutely anything. I’ll even set up a greater distro if that is what it takes. However, I’ve been utilizing Arch now for the previous 4 years. Before that, I used to be working Linux Mint. So, I’d like to stick with both Arch based mostly or Debian/Ubuntu based mostly.

I did strive Ubuntu Studio however I felt restricted in what I might set up. I take advantage of pcmanfm as my file supervisor as a result of it is very simple to make use of and I can unhide hidden directories with it. I could not try this with the default Ubuntu Studio file supervisor for some motive.

But if anybody will help me with my present setup, I’d significantly respect it!

Thanks!
