HOWTO:
USB Audio device
I
have a Tascam US-122 and was having trouble getting it to work. I had
seen similar posts regarding other USB sound cards.
This
process definitely got my US-122 to work on a number of different
machines. Although I haven't tested it on any other devices (because
I don't have any) I would think the process would be the same.
First,
do
Code:
sudo
apt-get install fxload
and
download
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/mirrors/ag...0.5-2_i386.deb
Then
do
Code:
sudo
dpkg -i alsa-tools_1.0.5-2_i386.deb
Now,
/usr/share/doc/alsa-tools/README.Debian reveals:
"The
alsa-tools packages is almost useles without the alsa-firmware one!
Awfully
alsa-firmware has broken license terms and it's to legally
distributable
at the moment. The AGNULA team is trying to solve the
issue."
There
is a link there to the source for alsa-firmware but I downloaded an
RPM from
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html
then
did
Code:
sudo
alien --to-deb alsa-firmware-1.0.6-1.cvs.rhfc2.ccrma.i386.rpm
and
Code:
sudo
dpkg -i alsa-firmware_1.0.6-2_i386.deb
Once
you have your deb installed (or got the install done from source)
download
http://langerland.de/audio/usx2y/usx2y-fw-0.1b.tar.bz2
and
extract it.
Do
Code:
lsusb
and
make note of the bus and device. In this case:
Bus
001 Device 005: ID 1604:8005 Tascam US-224 Audio/Midi Controller
Now
do
Code:
sudo
fxload -s /path/to/ld2-ezusb.hex -I
/usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader/us122fw.ihx -D
/proc/bus/usb/001/005
/path/to/
represents the location of your ld2-ezusb.hex file. It was in the
archive you downloaded from langerland.de. The /001/005 comes from
your lsusb results. 001 = Bus. 005 = Device
Finally,
do
Code:
sudo
usx2yloader
Lights
on the US-122 come on. If you do
Code:
cat
/proc/asound/cards
you
will see something like
0
[Live ]: EMU10K1 - Sound Blaster Live!
Sound
Blaster Live! (rev.10) at 0xd000, irq 18
1
[USX2Y ]: USB US-X2Y - TASCAM US-X2Y
TASCAM
US-X2Y (1604:8007 if 0 at 001/006)
If
you already had a sound card(s) installed, as I did, your USB card
will be the last in the list.
Should
you reboot or disconnect the device, you'll need to do
Code:
sudo
usx2yloader
again
to initialize the card.
I'd
imagine you could even have usx2yloader run on startup, if the card
was attached all the time.
Hope
this helps.
In
his later years, Oofty Goofty used to like to sit on the front porch
of the General Store and
reminisce
about the time he let the late, great John L. Sullivan hit him with a
billiard cue.

Re:

Hi
SFN!
I
really appreciate your description. I have tried a lot of solution
through the half last year to get my USB Soundcard working but
without success. Now my TASCAM US-122 behaves properly.
Thank
you.

Re:

I
am stuck at this step:
sudo
fxload -s /path/to/ld2-ezusb.hex -I
/usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader/us122fw.ihx -D
/proc/bus/usb/001/005
/path/to/
represents the location of your ld2-ezusb.hex file. It was in the
archive you downloaded from langerland.de. The /001/005 comes from
your lsusb results. 001 = Bus. 005 = Device
It
keeps giving me this message: unable to open for input.
It's
possible that I have the syntax wrong, but I've trid it many
different ways.
Any
help?

If
you will, do me a favor. Paste the responses from
Code:
sudo
find / -name ld2-ezusb.hex
Code:
sudo
find / -name us122fw.ihx
and
Code:
lusb
here.

just
now, I got these results:

Well,
I'm not Mr. USB but as I understand it, the device ID is assigned
when you plug a device in. Let's say the first itme you plug in a USB
device, that device gets ID 005. The next device you plug in gets IS
006. The next one, 007 and so on. Now let's say the next time you
start up, you plugin the device that got ID 007 first. It would get
the first available device ID - in this case 005.
Somebody
feel free to crrect me if I'm wrong here.
The
way I did mine, I had no USB devices plugged in befoer I plugged in
the US-122. From that point on, I always made sure that I plugged in
the US-122 first. I got the same ID every time.

Just
want to double-check. You have two sound cards on your system?
Whatever existing card was in the computer and your US-122? Is that
right?
