Re: HOWTO: USB Audio device
Hi SFN!
I really appreciate your description. I have tried a lot of solution through the half last year to get my USB Soundcard working but without success. Now my TASCAM US-122 behaves properly.
Thank you.

Re: HOWTO: USB Audio device
I am stuck at this step:
sudo fxload -s /path/to/ld2-ezusb.hex -I /usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader/us122fw.ihx -D /proc/bus/usb/001/005
/path/to/ represents the location of your ld2-ezusb.hex file. It was in the archive you downloaded from langerland.de. The /001/005 comes from your lsusb results. 001 = Bus. 005 = Device
It keeps giving me this message: unable to open for input.
It's possible that I have the syntax wrong, but I've trid it many different ways.
Any help?

If you will, do me a favor. Paste the responses from
Code:
sudo find / -name ld2-ezusb.hex
Code:
sudo find / -name us122fw.ihx
and

Re: HOWTO: USB Audio device
Actually, I tried really hard this morning and finally got my tascam installed. I still seem to be having trouble with jack.
I get this in the messages after I start jackd (using qjackctl):

Re: HOWTO: USB Audio device
another strange thing is, every time i connect my us-122, I end up with different results at this step:
lsusb
a while ago when I connected, I got these results:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1604:8007 Tascam US-122 Audio/Midi Interface
just now, I got these results:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1604:8007 Tascam US-122 Audio/Midi Interface
could this be causing me problems?
Re: HOWTO: USB Audio device
I also own a US-122, but when I enter
sudo usx2yloader
I get
usx2yloader: no US-X2Y-compatible cards found
$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 1604:8007 Tascam US-122 Audio/Midi Interface
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've been trying to get this working under Linux for YEARS! Thanks!

Well, I'm not Mr. USB but as I understand it, the device ID is assigned when you plug a device in. Let's say the first itme you plug in a USB device, that device gets ID 005. The next device you plug in gets IS 006. The next one, 007 and so on. Now let's say the next time you start up, you plugin the device that got ID 007 first. It would get the first available device ID - in this case 005.
Somebody feel free to crrect me if I'm wrong here.
The way I did mine, I had no USB devices plugged in befoer I plugged in the US-122. From that point on, I always made sure that I plugged in the US-122 first. I got the same ID every time.

Just want to double-check. You have two sound cards on your system? Whatever existing card was in the computer and your US-122? Is that right?
