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 (: ~$ jackd -dalsa -dhw:2,0 -r48000 -p1024 -n2 jackdmp 1.9.7 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others.

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! sela ----------------------------------------- Here some more background information and outputs: my machine is a DELL Precision M4500 lspci | grep -i usb 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05) When I start alsamixer and select the usx2y sound-device, I get the message: " This sound device does not have any controls." alsa sound-test: aplay -vv ./Music/some.wav Playing WAVE './Music/some.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo aplay: set_params:1123: Unable to install hw params: ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED FORMAT: S16_LE SUBFORMAT: STD SAMPLE_BITS: 16 FRAME_BITS: 32 CHANNELS: 2 RATE: 44100 PERIOD_TIME: (92879 92880) PERIOD_SIZE: 4096 PERIOD_BYTES: 16384 PERIODS: 4 BUFFER_TIME: (371519 371520) BUFFER_SIZE: 16384 BUFFER_BYTES: 65536 TICK_TIME: 0 arecord -l && aplay -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: USX2Y [TASCAM US-X2Y], device 0: US-X2Y Audio [US-X2Y Audio #0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: USX2Y [TASCAM US-X2Y], device 0: US-X2Y Audio [US-X2Y Audio #0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
