Hi list. I recently sent this to the ALSA users' list, so apologies if any of you get this twice. Think I need all the help I can get though!
Please can someone help a useless newbie with trying to install a Tascam US-122? I'm using Mandrake 10 on Dell Inspiron 5100.
I have followed all the instructions (docs in each ..tar and http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Tascam&...) as best I can, built alsa-driver-1.0.5, -firmware-1.0.4, -lib-1.0.5, -oss-1.0.5, -tools-1.0.5 and -utils-1.0.5 (using ./configure; make; make install except for alsa-driver where I used ../configure --with-cards=usb-usx2y --with-sequencer=yes --with-isapnp=no; make; make install), modified modules.conf and modprobed snd-pcm-oss, snd-mixer-oss, snd-seq-oss.
So far I know the first phase of the firmware loading is working because the product id changes to 8007 as mentioned in the usx2yloader documentation, but that's a far as it gets. usx2yloader always says 'no US-X2Y-compatible cards found' and whenever i modprobe snd-usb-usx2y it says:
FATAL: Error inserting snd-usb-usx2y (/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/kernel/sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-usx2y.ko.gz): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg).
dmesg says LOADS of messages like: snd-usb-usx2y: disagrees about version of symbol snd_pcm_period_elapsed snd-usb-usx2y: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_period_elapsed
with loads of different variables. Is this a conflict with the old ALSA already on there and if so how am I meant to remove the old version?
The really annoying thing is that it worked once: I was able to modprobe snd-usb-usx2y and when I booted up the LED turned on and usbx2yloader worked. I cannot remember exactly how I got to that stage but I don't think I did anything different to now, and the next time I booted up, it was back to this stage. Several reinstalls later, I'm still no further.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated. It's either that or back to Windoze :(
Cheers Stefan Turner
