Hello, I have just got the TASCAM US-122 mkI http://www.tascam.com/products/us-122mkII.htmlI audio/midi interface, which seemed to me a great product and a good deal. The problem is that I use a linux system (ubuntu-studio karmic) for music production and the interface can not be recognized when plugged. Among other reasons I chose this device because I thought it would work in linux: There were alsa drivers for its predecessors, the us-122 http://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-122 and the us-122l http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/%7Esmimram/tascam/ models. The latter, thanks to Karsten Wiese who wrote a patch for the us-122l version, which was latter included by default in newer alsa-firmware releases.

Unfortunately, the new model (US-122 mkII), the one I have, is not supported yet. I have even tried to get it replaced by the previous us-122l model, but it is not available anymore in the music store -> http://www.justmusic.de On the other hand, the "linux specialist" of the music store told me that a new linux driver for the us-122 mkII is been prepared, although he doesn't know when it will be ready. Being you the experts I have found in the web in regards with ALSA and TASCAM usb interfaces, I have decided to directly ask you about this. I would really appreciate any information about the topic.

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Best regards,
