Hi, Have you checked that the firmware is being properly loaded? The us-x2y (us-122 in your case) device has two startup stage steps: the first step loads the firmware, the second loads a fpga program into device ram, IIRC. Those steps are contiguous and should commanded by the alsa/hotplug binding scripts. Most important then, you need fxload, alsa-tools and alsa-firmware packages correctly installed.
