I recently decided to switch over to Ubuntu for experimentation. I previously had a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 fully functioning on my Windows OS and was able to record, playback and produce sounds using FL Studio. But now, I can't get my computer to playback sound through it. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu all together and I need massive help.

So far I've gotten the computer to recognize that the Scarlett is connected and have install the drivers. Pulse Audio recognizes that the Scarlett exists but when I check the Port tab to switch it's output to the speakers, it only allows me to put it as analog output. The volume bar moves as sounds play but no sound is coming out of the speakers. The same applies for the input settings, the volume tab moves as I speak into my mic, but again no sound.

I've checked forums, Everyone seems to point towards getting Qjack for recording sounds. I've installed it and it doesn't seem to recognize any devices. Maybe there's great deal of setting up or something, I don't know.

Cadence

Definitely try Cadence from KX Studio ... worked for me in similar circumstances.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation (instructions plus more features)

Open a Terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T)

install the very basics :

sudo apt-get install vlc ubuntu-restricted-extras ubuntustudio-menu cdrdao

Install needed tools

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common wget

Enable KXStudio repo (press 'Enter' once asked)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kxstudio-debian/kxstudio

Update software sources

sudo apt-get update

Install kxstudio-repos

sudo apt-get install kxstudio-repos

Update software sources again

sudo apt-get update

Then download the Cadence binary from http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Applications:Cadence (bottom of the site)

In Cadence, make sure to select your sound card in Configure< Driver< Device. (I also Start the ALSA Midi and PulseAudio JACK Bridges)

I hope that works.
