<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I tried to make a Tascam US-122 "Classic" work with my
Debian-testing-powered Thinkpad T410. I followed the
instructions on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-122#Tascam_US-122_on_Debian_and_Ubuntu"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-122#Tascam_US-122_on_Debian_and_Ubuntu</a>
as far as I could (alsa-base is not in Debian, anymore) but once
I tried to use the device for playback in pulseaudio I realized
there was no sink created. Pulseaudio offers the possibility to
use the TASCAM with "multiple input" besides "stereo input"
(although I thought it's a stereo in/out device) but there was
no option to use it as an output.</p>

to use jackd to double-check the missing output, but it failed
to startup. Reason: "cannot configure playback channel"</p>

<p>Maybe alsa-tools has what you want? It mentions this:
"us428control - Controller utility for Tascam US-X2Y".<br>
</p>
<p>I think they split alsa-base into multiple packages.</p>
<p>I'm using Debian Testing.<br>
