[linux-audio-user] bcf2000 trouble

[John Anderson]

Hi y'all

I have a bcf2000 that's been working well. Sometime in the last 2 months
or so (I've been busy with other things) it stopped responding to inputs
- ie the sliders don't move and the buttons and LED rings don't light up
in response to incoming midi - they work fine if they're triggered from
the unit itself. However, Ardour and Rosegarden both respond to inputs
from the controls, and if I can see incoming midi data if I use amidi.

Re-sending the 1.10 firmware worked fine, so it's not a problem with
sending midi data to the unit.

I've tried saying

amidi -p hw:2,0,0 -r tmp.syx

and then moving a slider, and then using

amidi -p hw:2,0,0 -s tmp.syx

to send the exact data back to the unit (after I've put the slider
somewhere else). But the slider doesn't move.

Same story using cat and the /dev files.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could try out the above and let me
know if it works. Then I'll know whether to take the unit to be
repaired, or to carry on fighting with my setup.

FWIW, I'm using 2.6.16-rt23, and alsa-lib-1.0.11.

thanks
John
