According to the reviews on the Amazon page, this
cable (or at least one
of the models that are sold over this page) has buggy firmware, and from
what I can deduce from the hex dumps, it's so broken that it is not
possible to work around this in the driver.
Yep; I bought a super-cheap MIDI cable on ebay that had much the same
problems, and if I remember correctly was of the same design. It's
worth paying the extra for a name brand that's been properly debugged;
whilst I'm sure a lot of these get sold, I'm equally sure they just
end up in landfills polluting our ecosystems.
