Hello, I am running openSUSE 12.2, 64bit (Kernel 3.4.33-2.24-desktop). ALSA version is 1.0.26 according to YAST, but alsamixer reports 1.0.25. Recently I encountered a problem with receiving large amounts of sysex data. The sysex data is sent from an effects processor called Fractal Audio Systems Axe-Fx II which also provides a USB MIDI interface. This device lets you dump single presets with 6.487 bytes and so called banks which are 830.336 bytes large. While the smaller preset dumps are received without any problem, the bank dumps never reach 830.336 bytes. The number of bytes received from a bank dump seems to be not predictable and varies strongly each time. I tried different programs for recording the sysex data such as amidi, arecordmidi, aseqdump, KMidimon, SimpleSysexxer and even Midi-Ox with WINE to no avail. Also cat /dev/snd/midiCxDx >> test.syx did not succeed. Looking into /var/log/messages I could find errors which would seem to be related to this issue. I have no clue where else to look for error messages at the moment. For an overview of the sending device here is what lsusb -v reports: Bus 002 Device 007: ID 2466:8003 Fractal Audio Systems Axe-Fx II Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00
