Hi.
I'm unable to record using the Roland SD-50 on Linux.
My alsa configuration is available at the following address:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=19aeffd0d30e952fdd12d589929fbe2a0f98ad7f
There is something odd with playback as well. With the sound control panel ( unity-control-center ). The test output only works when the SD-50 input is selected from the input tab.
So, I'm pretty sure there is simply some mix up in the mixer configuration... and I'd like to contribute making it work. ( I have some programming stills :-) )
Although Alsa with Jack and Ardour makes a pretty decent and promising environment for audio production on Linux. It's hard to believe that device support is still an issue after more than 20 years of Linux, darn manufacturers !
On another note, if anyone has a good recommendation for USB Midi+Audio + Sound Module to replace this SD-50 on Linux , I'd be willing to hear about it... I want the sound module to be able to use it when not connected to a computer. I want USB because I don't want to take it off with the laptop as well. I really though the SD-50 would make my day...
Thank you. François
