hello,
Recently, i have gotten my hands on a Tascam US-122mkII. i have done a lot of reading/googling and i can see that the device has been added to the snd-usb-us122l and even-cross referenced my own device to make sure the Id and such were there. Currently, i am unable to get sound out of the Unit. it does however, power up on boot. I have tried many things to get it working, and i have even gotten Jack to give me the option of picking this Device, however it shows errors and does not work :(
**** I am curious about the status of these drivers??
**** does anyone have this unit working at all?
**** and the steps they used to get it working. ( as much of the info i have read doesn't seem quite uptodate )
is there possibly firmware for this unit or do i use the -US122L firmware instead?
for Just a bit of background, I am using Fedora 12 with Planet CCRMA. however, i do not using the CCRMA kernel, as it doesn't cut it for me. A: it doesn't support a lot of newer hardware, B: it doesn't use MSI-X on my machine(shared USB/soundcard) C: It's bloated... D: no BFS scheduler. Instead i am using Zen-kernel which tends to be a lot more up to date, and i have gotten much better performance from Zen than any other kernel on any distro i have ever used.
now, I am more than willing to provide any information that might help.... this is what i know so far.
dmesg:
ALSA sound/usb/usx2y/usb_stream.c:603: status=-2 ALSA sound/usb/usx2y/usb_stream.c:603: status=-2 ALSA sound/usb/usx2y/us122l.c:365: us122l_start error -14 snd-usb-us122l: probe of 1-5:1.1 failed with error -22
i have tried googling these messages to no avail. i poked around through the driver, i've tried some of the trouble-shooting tips provided by the guy who originally got the older models to work, removing echi-hcd, or unbinding it, unplugging it, etc. but nothing seems to be making a difference. Then my thought was that i need a proper asound.conf or .asoundrc. because the soundcard seems to be available, when i unbind it and unplug/plug the unit back in. i even tried removing them to see if on reboot, that they might be reconfigured, but no luck.
if anyone can provide help, that would be greatly appreciated. I have a 30-day return, so if i can't figure it out, i will be returning it for a FFADO approved/fully-supported device. however that being said, wouldn't it be nice to still take the opportunity to have this device better supported or help debug some issues??
while i am not a really good programmer, i think i could be useful, as i have this device in front of me and can provide useful information to developers, just let me know what you need!
