Comments on: How To: Install A Line6 GuitarPort or TonePort UX1 or GX

I installed Line6 GX on Ubuntu. It works fine for listening to the music, however as soon as I plug in the bass, it works too but the volume is not equal on each side, the right side is far more audible than the left. Also, as soon as I play along music ( such as with Youtube ), the bass starts making ‘scratchy’ noises through the headphone. I tried adjusting the sound preferences without any luck.
Help would be appreciated !
Thanks again !

I also didn’t see Jake’s comment until much too late. After having installed the drivers per the instructions (which went just fine) and rebooting the toneport did not appear in my hardware devices (only my mobo, my audigy2 and the internal sound device which I guess is audio equivalent to the loopback interface for networking?). I’m not sure if the guitarport was there before I installed these drivers, but it definitely is not there now. So what to do next?

The driver installation went well, but i’m looking for playback software to use… like gearbox, or guitar rig. How would I get those to work in linux mint?

Thank you so much for this!!! You are my new hero. Your install instructions worked great and now I can record music without resorting to windows.

hi, have tried the line6-driver on ubuntu 10.10, but as soon as I have made the changes in audacity --> recorddevice = line6 --> and start the record, the system crashes - no network no mouse or any other thing is running - can it be, that this driver is not running with ubuntu 10.10 ?

best regards

I have ubuntu 10.10 and followed this guide. However I cannot see my UX1 in hardware. I then noticed what jake said: I found out the hard way that the new versions of Ubuntu have the TonePort GX included. If you run the install, your sound will work until you reboot. Check your Hardware Tab in Sound Properties FIRST.

Obviously I didn’t look first, I just assumed that it wouldn’t work so I started looking for how to’s on the web. Anyway, I can’t see my UX1 as it is after I followed the guide. Anyone know how to fix it?

@Jake :
For this kind of general question you’d better ask on ubuntu.com forums ! Or even in the documentation, you’ll find interesting things.

Anyway, when you have to type in a password, nothing is displayed for security reasons, but what you type is still taken into account.

Simply type your password and [Enter] !

But for older versions, yes, this guide is the trick.

2.6.32-24-generic-pae

32 Bit Ubuntu, latest release.

Last night, following your tutorial, I did get my Toneport GX to work. Under Windows I used it for sound output mostly. I figured I liked having a volume knob for my headphones, so I’d fire it up under Linux.

My only problem is now that the system has been shut down overnight and started again the TonePort no longer registers.

Any ideas why this may have occurred?

it works! no probe record, but if you play sound, run the headphones and volume controls!

incredible, I thought it would never work my UX2 in GNU/Linux.

I am very grateful to the post

Thank you very much!

hi guys,
have installed the line6usb. and after restart the ux1 appears correctly. the next step was to call audacity made the the entry for dsp2 and tried out but without access.

as next I tried out with ardour with the same access.

last but not least I was using jackctl, have done the entry for using line6usb (dsp2) and tried to run “start” and the system wented to sleep. No keyboard no networkconnection was reachable. the only thing was a reset to rerunning.

Now I have removed the module with modprobe -r line6usb.

I’m using ubuntustudio 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32-2 as a rt-kernel.

what’s going wrong here ? any ideas ?
thanks in advance
hans

I don’t need a guitar port. I just want to hook my electric guitar to my microphone jack and practice over my surround sound. Can anybody tell me how to get sound from microphone jack to come out speakers?
