| Summary | 0010110: Audio connections don't auto-connect for projects from other computer | ||||
| Description | I have just switched to Ardour 8.12 on Ubuntu Studio 24.04.3 LTS on a Framework Laptop 16 with Ryzen™ 7 7840HS mainboard. It has both internal speakers, and headphones via one of the USB-C Aux Framework modules. I have several projects that I created with Ardour 8.12 on Ubuntu Studio 24.04.3 LTS and on Linux Mint on my old HP laptop. When I go to open these projects on the new Framework laptop, no audio comes out while connected to Jack. I discovered that in the Audio Connections (specifically in the Busses section) aren't automatically connected. Once I connect them to the audio hardware listed it works fine. However, without saving the project, they are not retained. When I did save and overwrite one of the old projects with the audio connections now connected, the project now crashes Ardour on launch. A brand new project on this laptop does auto-connect to hardware properly, and saving and reloading keeps the connections. So it appears to only be the projects that were created and saved on a different laptop, with different audio hardware. I would imagine this is a pretty niche issue, however I wanted to flag in case it was seen under other conditions too. | ||||

Specifically in these settings is where I have found it doesn't auto-connect when opening projects from other computer. (see image) If I connect them, it works. If I save the project, and try re-opening it, it crashes Ardour. |

The crashing has now stopped, and it is successfully opening the old project file that I had saved with updated Audio Connections. I am not sure what changed.. I suppose the only issue (?) remaining is the not auto-updating Audio Connections to new hardware, but I would consider that low priority, and no longer affecting my personal workflow. Feel free to close this ticket if you deem it very low priority. |

in upcoming Ardour9, which is currently in release-candidate testing, master-out is re-connected when using new/different hardware. Connections are also save/restored per device. This assumes however that Ardour can know about hardware devices. On Linux with Ardour's ALSA backend. pipewire or JACK does not inform Ardour about this. |
