This is a complete tutorial on how to get your Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 to work in Ubuntu 11.10. At the end of this tutorial, you should be able to record and play with this Firewire audio interface in Linux/Ubuntu 11.10.

Before proceeding with the steps below, make sure you have connected the Firewire cable from Saffire pro 40 to your computer. Only connect the Firewire cable when your system and your audio interface are entirely off (not powered).

After connecting Saffire Pro 40 Firewire cable, connect your studio/nearfield monitors to the audio interface. This would allow you to monitor the results of your recording. For details; refer to the audio interface manual for guidelines on connecting this hardware to your computer.

Once everything has been connected, boot to Ubuntu. Follow the steps below.

Firewire

Install the Required Packages

1.) Make sure your system is fully updated. Run this command below to fully upgrade your system:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

2.) Once your system is fully updated. Install Synaptic package manager by going to Ubuntu software Center – then type in the search box, “Synaptic
Package manager”.

3.) Go to your Dash home. In the search box, type “Synaptic Package Manager”. Click to launch it. Enter your Ubuntu password.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you have previously installed JACK and FFADO using subversion or source code compilation (not using Synaptic or Ubuntu software manager), you need to remove that first. Follow the uninstallation procedures of FFADO and JACK.

4.) In the quick filter, type “ffado”. Install the following packages as shown in the screenshot below. (Green marks are installed packages; they are required for any Firewire audio interface to work).

FFADO synaptic

Make sure the following are installed (also enable real-time priority for JACK):

a.) ffado-tools
b.) ffado-mixer-qt4
c.) libffado2
d.) ffado-dbus-server
e.) jackd1-firewire

In addition, some packages installed by bulk (several packages installed together). For example, installing the ffado mixer would also automatically install libffado, etc. Another example is that installing the jackd1-firewire would also install all required jackd components such as shown below.
