Folks,
I'm pretty new to this, so I may have made something dumb... but, let's go.
I'm trying to make my Boss ME-80 work with Linux. It has an USB port
that allows for audio and midi in/out. Since ME-25 is supported by
ALSA and provides the same functionalities on its USB port, I tried
this...
1) I downloaded the linux source from the Ubuntu repository:
$ uname -r
3.2.0-58-generic-pae
$ sudo apt-get source linux-image-3.2.0-58-generic-pae
[...]
2) Edited the quirks-table.h file, duplicated the ME-25 portion and
changed it to be compatible with ME-80...
$ lsusb | grep Roland
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0582:0178 Roland Corp.
$ vi linux-3.2.0/sound/usb/quirks-table.h
----------------------------------------------------------------------
{
USB_DEVICE(0x0582, 0x0178), /* Changed from
"USB_DEVICE(0x0582, 0x0113)," */
.driver_info = (unsigned long) & (const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk) {
/* .vendor_name = "BOSS", */
/* .product_name = "ME-80", */
.ifnum = QUIRK_ANY_INTERFACE,
.type = QUIRK_COMPOSITE,
.data = (const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk[]) {
{
.ifnum = 0,
.type = QUIRK_AUDIO_STANDARD_INTERFACE
},
{
.ifnum = 1,
.type = QUIRK_AUDIO_STANDARD_INTERFACE
},
{
.ifnum = 2,
.type = QUIRK_MIDI_FIXED_ENDPOINT,
.data = & (const struct
snd_usb_midi_endpoint_info) {
.out_cables = 0x0001,
.in_cables = 0x0001
}
},
{
.ifnum = -1
}
}
}
},
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Compiled the code and stuff...
$ cd linux-3.2.0/sound/usb/
$ sudo make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-58-generic-pae/ M=`pwd` modules

$ sudo depmod -a
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-58-generic-pae
Well, after that, it did not show on the /proc/asound/cards file... :(
Then I found the following message 3 times on the dmesg:
snd-usb-audio: probe of 2-1.2:1.0 failed with error -5
I tried editing the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and adding these lines:
alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-slot-2 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=2
It is still not working. Anybody has a clue?
Thanks,
Miguel Degrossoli.
