[linux-audio-user] Midisport 8x8 - firmware not loading; is my guess

[Marije Baalman]

Hi,

I had a similar problem with the MidiSport 2x2
I discovered that doing a reboot somehow gets the thing working (the
usb-LED on the device starts burning during the boot, and the device
runs fine afterwards).
I do not know why though.

sincerely,
Marije
