US-122: permanent problem on ubuntustudio 11.10

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear folks,

I have been trying to get my Tascam US-122 USB Audio interface running
on Ubuntustudio 11.10 64 bit for several exhausting nights, but I did
not get one step further.

First, everything seemed to be running perfectly:

- I installed the alsa-firmware-loaders, and afterwards the alsa-firmware-1.0.25
- I plugged in the US-122
- lsusb gave me 'Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1604:8007 Tascam US-122
Audio/Midi Interface'
- so I ran

'sudo fxload -s /usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader/tascam_loader.ihx
-I /usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader/us122fw.ihx -D
/dev/bus/usb/002/006'

- and afterwards

'sudo usx2loader'

The lights went on, and from 'cat /proc/asound/cards' I get the
following output:

 0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                     HDA NVidia at 0xe3080000 irq 16
 1 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                     HDA Intel at 0xe9660000 irq 49
 2 [USX2Y          ]: USB US-X2Y - TASCAM US-X2Y
                     TASCAM US-X2Y (1604:8007 if 0 at 002/006)


But when I try to start jackd, I get the following messages (:

I tried everything up-and-down: different settings for jack, removing
pulseaudio, reinstalling firmware and using different versions,... and
even posted on
different forums, but I could not find a hint of a solution. Only,
that all this might be related either/or to an alsa driver problem, a
jack2 problem, a linux ehci module problem, or even some hardware
issues. Is there any way to find out?

If anybody can give me some more hints to narrow my problem, that
would be great. I am totally stuck here, please help!
