Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

2012-10-03 Thread shkorc

Yes, I have tried both #12 and #11, applied from default kernel with all
the settings reset prior the upgrade. Perhaps the issue is somewhere
else, hence the patch does not even get the chance to do it's work?

What has me confused is why the DAC does not show up in aplay -l or
/proc/asound/cards. I know it uses the Tenor 8802 chip and that it is
detected in newer live CD linux systems.

Hi again,

I received this information from a friendly user at the alsa-user
mailgroup:


The problem is that there's a gap in the interface number
allocation:

 Interface Descriptor:
   bLength 9
   bDescriptorType 4
   bInterfaceNumber0
^^^
[...]

 Interface Association:
   bLength 8
   bDescriptorType11
   bFirstInterface 2
   bInterfaceCount 2

[...]

 Interface Descriptor:
   bLength 9
   bDescriptorType 4
   bInterfaceNumber2

While this doesn't make any sense, it is actually fine, but the USB
core
code in older kernels doesn't like this and fails.

I fixed this just recently here:


https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=b3a3dd



Here's the whole output from the Linux machine:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1184591/mageia/lsusb-v.txt

Can the fix be applied to Touch's kernel?

I can test, no problems with that :)

Triode, how can I locate the required patches? I'm used to performing
basic operations in the terminal, but never played with Linux kernels.
Thanks again for your efforts.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

2012-09-26 Thread shkorc

I have experimented with another Linux distro beside Ubutnu, i.e.
Mageia. It is also running Alsa 1.0.25 but for some reason the DAC is
not visible in /proc/asound/cards even though it is mentioned in dmesg.

I'm guessing the issue is not because of Alsa version, but something
else. I have run a script from alsa that gathers relevant information
from:

dmesg
lspci
lsmod
aplay
amixer
alsactl
/proc/asound/
/sys/class/sound/
~/.asoundrc (etc.)

Ubuntu output:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5a596af9293e754c598b010fa5749a5b19cc4275
Mageia output (Mandriva Fedora):
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=18113235752e29ecd31a20b8506b6e173cd4bc3c

Does the difference between the two give any clues for you?

I'm assuming if we find the difference and apply the necessary changes
to Mageia and it starts working, then it might be possible to do the
same with the Touch kernel?

Which version of Alsa is running on the Touch? Can it be upgraded or is
this something Logitech must do first?

Reply from support:

the DAC-9 should work on OS X for USB audio class 1 and 2. As for Linux
we do not know if it will work. Someone may have developed drivers that
work but we do not support it.

Bummer. If I'd only get some confirmation as to which chip they use,
perhaps it could be integrated in the kernel.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

2012-09-20 Thread shkorc

Opening the DAC-9 and examining the USB module, the USB transceiver chip
says NuForce NFUSB192S 12W12, which does not help much in term of
drivers. I received some unconfirmed information that it might use a
Tenor 8802. I tried using Kernel #12 but the DAC was not detected during
reboot.

I will install Linux on a spare laptop I have and test if it works from
the box. Do you have any suggestion as to which distro I should use? Is
a live CD enough or do I need to make a full setup of the operating
system?

I apologize for repeating my question, but would anybody know if it's
possible to test a DAC with a desktop Linux and from some output assume
it will work with EDO?

I don't own a Touch, I'd like to make sure it works with my dac before a
purchase. Thanks!

I currently don't own a SBT (only a Duet) but would definitely make the
upgrade if I'd only know if EDO will work with my dac (Nuforce DAC-9).
Is there a way I can test the dac with a live Linux distro on my laptop
and could see from there if it will work together? I really appreciate
your reply guys, thanks. Might help someone else wondering the same
thing. Cheers!
