I've got a Tascam US122 that has worked fairly well out of the box with a dell inspiron laptop running FC3/CCRMA. MIDI did work but now doesn't. It shows up in QJackCtl's window, but no MIDI signals are passed through; even more telling, the MIDI IN LED on the unit doesn't light. I've tested the controller with a BCR2000 and it works fine; have also tried another controller with the Tascam. Again, the ports are apparently recognized by ALSA - in addition, audio works fine. I'm guessing it's a hardware failure of the Tascam, and I'll need to replace the unit, but I wanted to ask if you all can think of anything else linux-related I'm not thinking of. I don't think I've done any recent upgrades - if so, I did about a month ago. I don't use MIDI with the machine much, but had been planning to in the future.
