[linux-audio-user] novation remote 25 usb midi controller

[Eric Dantan Rzewnicki]

I have not been successful in getting this keyboard recognized on the
usb bus, let alone by the usb-audio driver. I'm going to see if I can
get it working via straight midi into my ymfpci-based guillemot
maxisound fortissimo. But, can anyone see anything else I can try? I've
tried to gather as much info as I could think of...maybe I'm just not
understanding something basic ... Please help.


My system is debian testing (sarge) with kernel 2.4.19 with preempt and
lowlatency patches and the following usb options turned on:

CONFIG_USB=m
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m
CONFIG_USB_AUDIO=m

lsusb returns nothing and there is nothing in /proc/bus/usb/devices (
which I
guess says the same thing. ) 

I compiled and installed alsa-0.9.6 drivers, libs, utils and
envy24control.
the drivers were configured like this:

./configure --with-cards=ice1712,usb-audio --with-sequencer=yes
--with-oss=no

I have the following in modules.conf:

#sound specific modules

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio


lsmod looks like this:
