Hi As I posted yesterday, I had a Tascam US122 until a week ago, and it worked flawlessly with every UbuntuStudio distributions I've used (at least from 8,xx until the 10.xx). I had other problems with RT kernels and my hardware configuration, but not with the tascam. Unfortunatly I don't have it now, and I also have losted the information that I have compiled about its installation to put in an article on www.openstudio.info. I'll try to get at least some info from my last installation from the history command, but I can say that it was almost using the link already posted:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122 >From what I remember (I'm not in my home studio PC right now and I'll confirm it later), I've used a more recent alsa firmware, I think it was this version: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/firmware/alsa-firmware-1.0.23.tar.bz2 Then, on step 6 you should use the second option, replacing the 002/003 by the results you get from lsusb: # sudo fxload -s /path/to/ld2-ezusb.hex -I /usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader/us122fw.ihx -D /dev/bus/usb/002/003 Also in step 7 you should do first this command to create a link because the files are not in the place the program is expecting: # sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader /lib/firmware/usx2yloader I suppose that the sugested udev integration is being deprecated, but it works at least for now. I didn't change the default soundcard because I select it in jack Once I can retreive the history information from my homestudio PC I'll make the necessary corrections. Can you tell us what is not working during your tascam us122 installation?
