Hi folks,
today my christmas-present, a tascam us-122 arrived. Sure enough first thing
to do was to test it. After figuring which packages to install and after
realizing that it seems as if I don't need the firmware from windows I now
get midi and sound with it.
And here starts my problem: soundplayback is only the very first seconds, then
it stops and after a while I get an I/O-Error. My action was "aplay -D hw:1
-f cd <a_file>". I also tested with alsaplayer and jack, both don't do any
sound. :-(
Maybe someone can help me, I would like to use this device on christmas-eve.
BTW, I didn't test under windows, thats one thing left to do...
Thanks in advance,
Arnold
PS: Installed packages are:
alsa-driver-1.0.7
alsa-firmware-1.0.7
fxload-20020411
hotplug-20040923
I am using gentoo and kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r8...

No one until now?
Here is an update: It works with windows. And it doesn't even work if I load
the modules for the tascam only without the module for my internal soundcard
and the usb-midi-box.
Please could anybody give me some hints where to search? Could it be there is
an issue with my usb-chip onboard? (I am now compiling the drivers for my big
pc too...)
Again, thanks in advance,
Arnold

I'm assuming that you did all the steps on the alsa web page
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Tascam&am…
The Tascam is supposedly supported by Alsa. I had thought about
purchasing one, but if you can't get it to work, I won't bother.
I know this isn't much help...good luck

Did you tried try "/sbin/depmod -a" after loading the modules. I always
point people to the alsa config page at ccrma as it's clear and
understandable, here's the link:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/installkernelandsound.html#S…
The ccrma page is for fc1 and the 2.4 kernel but most of it is relevant.

Hi folks,
I've got it working. At the pc I wanted it to run. I just decided to test
kernel 2.6.9-gentoo-r6 and this one works. :-) \me is happy
BTW: I am using uhci_hcd and lspci says nothing I could quote since writing
emails is another pc than making sound with my new now-working tascam. ;-)
Good night or day and thanks for the trouble I did,
Arnold

Cathegorie snd-usb-usx2y.
For more feadback some more infos please:
$ lspci
$ modinfo snd-usb-usx2y
$ lsmod
If you then know that your system uses ohci usb and your snd-usb-usx2y's version is
pre 0.8.6,
then please install a recent cvs version of alsa.
If obstacles in your case appear to be something else, come back with the output of above
3 commands.
viel Spaß,
Karsten
