If /proc/asound/cards contains the US-122, could he/she try: cat /dev/urandom | aplay -Dhw:1,0 -f cd (careful on the volume!) If this produces white noise out of the headphone/output jacks, then a modified .asoundrc can make the Tascam the default sound card. Tascam usb soundcards can be a bit awkward to set up, due to the required firmware loading (there are 2 separate firmwares required), so it always needs a little bit of fiddling. That said, I also have a Tascam US-122, and it works on Debian Etch/Ubuntu Edgy/Ubuntu Fiesty. What distro is he/she using? If it's Debian/Ubuntu, I can provide some instructions. Otherwise, check out: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Tascam_US-122_in_Dapper http://www.bxlug.be/articles/306 (en francais!) http://langerland.de/linux/usx2y/index.html It looks like they have the card up-and-running, however (as it's listed in /proc/asound/cards). It might just be that they're not "using" it yet... (hence the "cat/dev/urandom" line above to test...) Let me know how you get on.
