Linux Problems with JACK and firewire input

Hi everyone,

My brother is having a weird error with a linux partition and some music software, with peripherals.

I know nothing about Linux, nothing about music software, and nothing about firewire music peripherals.

Is there anyone here with a little more knowledge in this area that might be able to provide some advice? The details of his problem are posted to an Ubuntu forum here:

He's not a community member here, but I'll link him to this forum so he can read any responses.

Thanks in advance!

I spotted something that might relate: there's some kind of a bug in the 4.4 kernel with regard to audio. You can read more here:

If he's recently upgraded his kernel, falling back to the prior one might fix this issue.
