I'm communicating with someone on a French LUG mailing list. He has a Tascam us 122 USB soundcard. I don't have any USB soundcards, so am a bit lost. He has 2 cards, as below, and snd_usb_usx2y is loaded. The cards are probably ordered incorrectly, with the Tascam as card1. I see that snd-usb-audio isn't loaded. Is that necessary for the USB soundcard to work? I know that I need snd-usb-audio to be loade for my usb midi keyboard to be detected, but have no idea about soundcards. xavier@xavier-bureau:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - SB Live 5.1 [SB0220] SB Live 5.1 [SB0220] (rev.10, serial:0x80651102) at 0xc400, irq 20 1 [USX2Y ]: USB US-X2Y - TASCAM US-X2Y TASCAM US-X2Y (1604:8007 if 0 at 001/003) xavier@xavier-bureau:~$ lsmod | grep snd snd_emu10k1_synth 8192 0 snd_emux_synth 35456 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_seq_virmidi 7936 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_midi_emul 7680 1 snd_emux_synth snd_usb_usx2y 29184 0 snd_pcm_oss 44544 0 snd_emu10k1 121248 2 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_ac97_codec 98336 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_mixer_oss 17408 1 snd_pcm_oss ac97_bus 3200 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_util_mem 5760 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_seq_dummy 4740 0 snd_pcm 79876 4 snd_usb_usx2y,snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec snd_seq_oss 32896 0 snd_seq_midi 9600 0 snd_seq_midi_event 8448 3 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 52592 9 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_emul,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_usb_lib 17280 1 snd_usb_usx2y snd_timer 23684 3 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_rawmidi 25472 4 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1,snd_seq_midi,snd_usb_lib snd_seq_device 9100 8 snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd_hwdep 9988 3 snd_emux_synth,snd_usb_usx2y,snd_emu10k1 snd 54020 16 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_usb_usx2y,snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep snd_page_alloc 10888 3 snd_usb_usx2y,snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm soundcore 8672 1 snd usbcore 134280 6 usblp,snd_usb_usx2y,snd_usb_lib,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd Very appreciative with any help on this, as I'm a bit in the dark.
