The interface is connected to my computer using a FireWire cable. Thanks in advance for your interest and help! I followed this FireWire digital audio tutorial (I skipped the Set IRQ Priorities section, I'm not interested in realtime), after installing Ffado, JACK and QjackCtl, but I get an error I cannot solve. When I start QjackCtl (with root privileges), apply the settings described in the Start Jack section of the above tutorial and click the Start button, I get an error window and another after I close the first. Also, there are these errors in the Messages window of QjackCtl. 18:43:18.581 ALSA connection change. 18:43:18.605 D-BUS: Service is available (org.jackaudio.service aka jackdbus).

And second; shouldn't you select ffado in jack, if that's what you're running?

Your user needs to have read/write permission, most distributions don't permit this by default as it can be a security risk, apparently. How you achieve this can depend on which distribution you are running - the best method is to make /dev/raw1394 owned by a group that your user is a member of. You may be able just to chgrp it
