hi to you all.
could anyone help me with this?
i'm trying to get my tascam us-122 running on slackware.
the lsmod says:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
snd-seq 42384 0 (autoclean)
snd-pcm-oss 39880 0 (unused)
snd-mixer-oss 13912 0 [snd-pcm-oss]

snd 36900 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss

uhci 28316 0 (unused)
usbcore 43108 0 [snd-usb-usx2y snd-usb-audio uhci]
to my limited knowledge it says that the card is installed and up. the
problem is that there is no sound. either does the card show in f ex
xmms options.
alsamixer announces:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
have i missed something during the alsa installation. i'm on slackware
on 2.4.25-kernel which i patched according to the instructions on the
linux audio users guide page. i'd be really grateful if someone could
come with an advice on how to get this working...
my modules.conf:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116
alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-usx2y
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1

Hi,
Have you checked that the firmware is being properly loaded? The us-x2y
(us-122 in your case) device has two startup stage steps: the first step
loads the firmware, the second loads a fpga program into device ram, IIRC.
Those steps are contiguous and should commanded by the alsa/hotplug
binding scripts. Most important then, you need fxload, alsa-tools and
alsa-firmware packages correctly installed.
Bye.

thank you for your reply!
how do i know if the firmware is properly loaded? (well... apparently it
isn't.....)
i tried to run the usx2yloader: "no US-X2Y-compatible cards found". i'm
afraid that this is way over my understanding.
i installed all of the alsa stuff but the page doesn't mention anythin
about fxload. what is it?
i'm really glueless...

oh, man... i just noticed that the card doesn't receive any singnal what
so ever on this box (my laptop, on which i'm trying to get it work)....
on my main computer i actually got the card to make sound. wohoo! it
seems there's something wrong with usb configuration on my lappy then..
or something. sorry for wasting your time..

Hi,
fxload is the program to load primordial firmware. It is intended to be
invoked by hotplug scripts when the unprogrammed device appears on the
bus. However it's not part of alsa, look in http://linux-hotplug.sf.net/.
Your us122 will not blink no light if the firmware isn't being loaded in
the first place. Check on your main computer that you have everything in
place.
Bye.
