Subject: Re: [LAU] M-Audio Fast Track Pro: unreliable, distorted recording
I know this post is old, but has a solution been found?
I have the exact same problem. I have seen some posts reporting this issue,
but no solution. The card works well in Windows.
FWIW, I haven't used a FTP in Linux for some time, but when I did, occasionally I got
the same thing: clean output, distorted input. I guessed that the endianness disagreed.
But it was sporadic.
So you're not crazy. It really does happen and it's not a hardware problem with
the box.
I don't have a solution, though.

At any rate, sometimes it's just off-sync in the stream (I presume) and
the sound only appears clean at very low volumes when using 24bit
recordings.

That is surprising, to say the least: it kills the USB2.0 driver in
order to talk just USB1.1. But I am pretty sure I am using the US-122L
in USB2.0 mode: I am certainly not throwing out the respective drivers
and am recording with high sample and bit rates not likely to work with
USB1.1 speeds.
So if that's correct, the US-144MKII probably switches into some mode
unknown to ALSA in USB2.0 while the US-122L stays workable.

Hmm, small suggestions for those who receive the list in digest form. (From someone who
used to do that in the days of dial-up.)
IIRC, the MIME digest format enables replying to individual emails within the digest. Then
the reply has the proper subject line (vs the generic "re: [LAU] Linux-audio-user
Digest, Vol 128, Issue 20").
If the list doesn't offer a MIME digest - or your mail client doesn't support MIME
digests - please change the subject line to correspond with the part of the digest
you're replying to. Makes it easier for everyone to keep track of things.
If you use MS Windows, I recommend Pegasus Mail. Excellent mail client and perfect support
for MIME digests.
You may now return to your regularly-scheduled interruption.

I already was able to convince the Evolution mailing list to make MIME
digest the default option for new subscribers. _Nobody_ was against my
idea.
To expect that there are still MUAs out there, that don't support MIME
is ridiculous, let alone that a subscriber still could enable
plain text digest when using an MUA from the Stone Age. IIRC the
official Debian mailing lists don't offer plain text digest at all, but
IIRC they aren't mailman mailing lists.

Thanks, Ralf, for including the instructions I was too lazy to track down.
I don't know if webmail clients like GMail and such support MIME digests. While I have
a GMail account, I only use it through real mail clients.
