Hi,
I recently bought a VX Pocket V2. Great soundcard (on windows) and
finally one with linux drivers for my laptop (which will be great when
it works)
As you know, I have been having problems with this card too. I am
hoping to persuade someone to have a look at it at LAC in Karlsruhe next
week. Hopefully, something will come out of that.
I've been trying various interpretations of the
instructions on the ALSA
page.

<http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Digigram&card=VXpocket+440.&chip=Motorola+DSP&module=vxpocket>
but still no luck. I'm relatively new to linux and it's been a
crash-course getting this far.
I pity you. I have been using Linux since 1995, and still find getting
this soundcard to work difficult.
But I'm stuck and need some help. I
think maybe the instructions make assumptions about linux knowledge that
I don't have - like how do I turn on module support?
That should already be turned on by default.
I'm using Demudi - a 2.6 kernel - I've
installed the firmware through
synaptic
DeMuDi is Debian-based. And Debian does not ship proprietary firmware.
Did you get the firmware from elsewhere?
