[alsa-devel] Fw: Support for M-Audio VENOM?
Hello,
I would like to have support for the M-Audio Venom synthesizer. It has a USB audio and USB MIDI interface, but the current usb audio driver fails to configure it correctly : the system hangs during a long time when the USB connection is established: for example, lsusb takes 24 seconds with the Venom attached, and alsamixer/aconnect -io end with
As attachments, there is a .tar.xz with the output of lsusb, kernel messages, dbus messages and /proc/asound contents.
What can I do to enable that USB interface?
I could help developers to help me having a working driver (I am application developer, and I run Gentoo Linux).
Kind regards, Xavier Miller.

This sounds like a basic problem with the Venom's firmware; there's nothing much Linux can do about this.
and alsamixer/aconnect -io end with
with what?
12:1:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x2 12:2:1: cannot set freq 44100 to ep 0x84
Another firmware bug; but this device has only one sample rate, so the driver should not treat this as a fatal error.

OK, thank you for the clear answer. Since M-Audio has abandoned the Venom, and since Avid pushes M-Audio to other kind of producs, I won't expect any firmware bugfix.
I will thus use a no-name USB-MIDI interface instead of the USB cable.
Kind regards, Xavier Miller.
