The alsa-kernel/usb/Kconfig file says:
| config SND_USB_USX2Y
| tristate "Tascam US-122, US-224 and US-428 USB driver"
| depends on SND && USB && (X86 || PPC || ALPHA)
AFAIK the restrictions are intended to prevent running on
architectures that don't support DMA mappings in the way this driver
uses them. However, there shouldn't be much of a difference between
x86 and x86-64 in this regard.
You could try to replace the depends line with
depends on SND && USB
and then recompile the driver (see "Compilation from CVS sources" in
the INSTALL file).
I have tried this several times now and I am still getting the
same error... I edited...
/var/tmp/portage/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.8/work/alsa-driver-1.0.8/alsa-kernel/usb/Kconfig
and absolutely have only "depends on SND && USB" and then I do...
aclocal
autoconf
./configure --with-cards=usb-usx2y
...
checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: Unsupported
soundcard usb-usx2y
I've tried "usbusx2y" and just usx2y and usb_usx2y etc.
Any more clues for the clueless ?
