Hi,
First : this list is kind of dead, at least you won't have too many
mail from it.
Then about you interface, I guess it is the Line 6 GuitarPort.
I could not find whether it is Class Compliant or not. (Some
interfaces require a driver and will only work on Windows/MAc)
You could try to connect it to various USB ports on you PC and
- type "dmesg" in a console just after having plugged the USB, to see
what is recognized.
- If the console is too alien for you. Launch QJack (graphical
application that should be already installed) ; Go to "Setup ..." and
look at the "Interface" drop down list if you can see your interface.
That would be a start.
Note that until your interface is recognized the distributions or
applications you are using won't make a difference. Let's first solve
that

Hi, I’ve just installed fedora jam on my spare laptop. I’ve been
using windows for all my music, and I want to see what linux has
to offer. I went with Jam because I wouldn’t know what software to
install or how to configure it, so this seems like the place to
start.
But I’m not getting anywhere using it, and the wiki doesn’t seem
to have much info.
Here is my problem: when I plug in my audio interface (I’m using
GuitarPort) I get unprocessed raw sound from my guitar in my
headphones right away, before I even start anything. (Normally I
don’t hear anything until the signal is routed through the
amplifier software, but I’ve never used it in linux before, maybe
that is expected?)
I went into StudioControls -> Audio Setup -> Jack Master Setting,
and I see the following:
Jack Master Device (no USB): lists my sound card and my guitar port.
USB device that should be Master: No USB Master.
The thing is, GuitarPort *is* a USB device. No matter what I do,
all I get is raw guitar output. I feel a bit like all I’m doing is
closing my eyes and poking at it with a stick. Are there some
instructions on how to set this up?
Thanks,
bruce

So, QJackCtl is overly-complicated, and unless you know what you're
doing it should be avoided. This is why I started including Studio
Controls with Jam. Studio Controls simplifies it.
And, I'm sorry I'm just now answering this. My time is quite limited
this weekend due to family events.
What it looks like is that the device is being recognized, JACK is
starting, but the device isn't being patched to the outputs. Open Carla,
and click on the Patchbay tab. From there you can drag a wire from your
input to whatever output (or plugin input) you'd like. Carla is a plugin
host, so think of it as an effects rack or an equipment rack, and the
patchbay as a patchbay, or the back of said rack.
I hope that helps.
