<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">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>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">I tried to use jackd to double-check the missing output, but it failed to startup. Reason: "cannot configure playback channel"</p>
