I also confirmed I > had the latest drivers for Win XP. USB is a standard interface for sound. If the vendor wants to do more, they usually have firmware to customize the interface. Your card sounds like it is the standard USB interface with no enhancements. Were there special drivers for windows? That is usually an indication that there is firmware. I didn't notice, was the snd-usb driver installed on your system? The latest incarnation of ALSA has a special bucket for firmware. You could go here (top of page) and get the firmware and install it. Maybe it would help. http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download#.28Unofficial.29_Daily_Snapshot_Tarballs > > What is also occurring to me is that since there are drivers for this > card written for Linux (I have them installed), there may be someone out > "there" who wrote them, & might just know about some problems/solutions > (?). The writer of the drivers will probably be on the alsa-devel list. Mark Brown, who you were corresponding with earlier, is a developer. However, the generic USB driver is just that, generic. The developer might not know anything about your card. > > So, where you may be able to help here, is pointing toward some possible > direction to finding the author/s of said? I suppose you could look at the source code.

(I'm a real short timer here, you may have noticed). Most are. Once their problem is solved, they're gone. ;-) There is probably someone with experience to help you, but it isn't me. I've never used a USB card, and never looked at the code for it. > > Thanks again, much appreciated to know some one is actually following > some of the discussions, more or less actively. > > Henry ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
