Hullo, there,
I've got a Tascam us428 audio/midi interface/control surface, and
I've had a heck of a time trying to get it working. It seems to
work alright if I use the device directly with xmms, but when I
try to start jack, my system hangs. Sometimes it waits a while
before hanging, sometimes it stops immediately when I start jack.
I happed to have a tail -f of syslog running this most recent
time, and noticed that at the same time it stopped working, the
message:
kernel: ALSA: ../../alsa-kernel/usb/usx2y/usbusx2yaudio.c: \
205: -11
came up. Looking at that file in the source, the error happens in
function usX2Y_urb_submit(). Here's the line:
...
if ((err = usb_submit_urb(urb, GFP_ATOMIC)) < 0) {
snd_printk("%i\n", err); <-- This is line 205
return err;
}
...
I have only basic programming skills, and to me it seems like the
function is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing, and
printing the error code -11. But I have no idea what that means,
or I could be completely wrong. I'm using kernel version 2.4.26
with the low latency and preemption patches. Thanks for any help.

error -11 is EAGAIN.
This could be returned from ohci's function ed_schedule().
Don't know exactly, as I have only 2.6 kernels sources handy.
The system hang is most propably caused by a bug in snd-usb-usx2y.
What module version do you use? (modinfo snd-usb-usx2y)
If its not 0.8.6 you might try that one. get i from alsa-project.org.
it will also show up in mainline 2.6.10 or .11 and should work better on ohci.

Thanks for the direction. I looked at the module version, and it
says 0.7.2, but I downloaded the 1.0.6a driver package source
directly from alsa-project.org. is the 0.8.6 version included in
the 1.0.7rc2 development release?
Thanks,

Not shure. But for shure it is in cvs head or the snapshots of cvs-head.

It has been ironed out by snd-usb-usx2y 0.8.6 as you may find on latest
alsa-driver-1.0.7 (also on 2.6.10-rc2-mm1 kernel).

Yes and no. I have both OHCI and EHCI (is this right -- anyway the
other one ;-) So, I have to use the EHCI port, right?
Hopefully, it's not the one on the board like for some other guys
that have reported this problem ...

But then again the problem of making a new kernel modul or a new
kernel for my distro (now SuSE 9.2).
The last time I tried to install a 2.6.9 (with all audio patches) I
gave up, cause many of the skripts (usb, hotplug) have stopped working.
What about deMuDi 1.2.0? Is this one able to work with the tascam
usb interfaces?
There is so much music to do ...

Probably not. The badness lies on the OHCI host controllers interface and
snd-usb-usx2y modules prior to 0.8.6. On UHCI it has been working ever
since.
If you want your US428 audio pcm to work, you'll surely have to upgrade to
alsa-driver 1.0.7. I'm affraid there's no other way around, other than
getting an UHCI based USB host controller.
There is so much music to do ...
I feel the same ;)

Did you apply any patches ? Having 9.2 here ready to install, I'm quite
interested to know how it performs audio-wise, and which patches can or

After a year of installations on Slakware, I finally decided to move
to SUSE 9.2 and it is brilliant. All audio apps work first time on the
default kernel installation - no patches or anything else required
yet. Jackd perfect no x-runs yet - Everything works and is easily
configurable so after the initial install one can get working
immediately and make soundz?
It makes the world of difference.
Cheers

Did you run jackd and all audio apps as root?
As normal user it produces a lot of xruns in the default
configuration. After the additional install of the realtime lsm, I
can be myself (a normal user) and start jackd with realtime
capabilities from qjackctl. But then again some (very few) xruns
when playing ardour and some other programs accesses the disk
(changing the virtual screen to my pim).
Maybe this is also a problem of running a bloated GUI and more
than just the audio programs.

Ah -- I thought, that usb2 uses EHCI _and_ is downwards compatible

Will try it. Is it part of Alsa 1.0.7? The Release Note from

- usX2Y
- usx2y cleanups and fixes
- snd-usb-usx2y 0.7.3

You don't have to bother about this. Mostly its also the same plug(s) for both OHCI

You can setup a standard suse kerneltree and only copy the usx2y subdir's content from
alsa1.0.7/alsa-kernel/usb/usx2y to suse9.2kernel/sound/usb/usx2y.
I think....;-)
to be really shure, that you have an OHCI (and not UHCI) device you can look at/mail here
the outputs of

Hello all,
good news! I have succeeded in making my us-122 work! Heureka and Hurrai and
thanks to all that has helped!

unfortunately not -- the code seems to use some features not present in the
SuSE Kernel, that is a heavily patched 2.6.9 (that is said to be near

But the full installation of alsa-drivers-1.0.7 worked like a charm;
./configure
make
make install # or better 'checkinstall'
and then the us-122 was able to in/output Audio and Midi -- wow!
Now I am testing all the wonderful audio applications ...
I have found some problems:
- qjackctl (0.2.10) cannot stop jackd after a audio graph has been established
i have to kill it manually (but not as root)
- the same is true for some jack clients I tried (aeolus, freqtweak)

I will add my experiences to the wiki page.
