[linux-audio-user] alsa problem

[Rui Nuno Capela]

Hi,

Have you checked that the firmware is being properly loaded? The us-x2y
(us-122 in your case) device has two startup stage steps: the first step
loads the firmware, the second loads a fpga program into device ram, IIRC.
Those steps are contiguous and should commanded by the alsa/hotplug
binding scripts. Most important then, you need fxload, alsa-tools and
alsa-firmware packages correctly installed.

Bye.
