It's more than a week... always the same. Someone suggested me to try Tango Studio, I did, but it's exactly the same. Frustrating. I'm going to give back the card to the guy who sold it to me, since he's so kind to give me back my money. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

(I have written this mail some 3 hours ago before your last reply and saved it for further editing. Nevertheless I send it now in case there is something that can help you. :) ) Eventhough I have only very little experience with ubuntu studio applications (just last week I set up my realtime kernel and system and it works perfectly with a very cheap usb audio interface of 12€!), I want to share it with you. You should work with Jack! Install it (as Pablo said, it's gui is called "qjackctl"), and make a good setup for your system. (I used this for reference: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToJACKConfiguration and maybe this for the whole system set up: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation) In the case that there is no problem with your audio card drivers (I can't help you here!) and Jack is configured properly, then you should hear sound form your card. In other words and since as you said you card is recognized from your system, if the sound isn't working, then you haven't configured Jack properly. In the setup menu of qjackctl , at the Settings tab you should try all possible settings, especially play with the "driver", "interface", "input device" and "output device", in order to make the right configuration of your system. Normally, you will see your audio interface's name at the "interface" and "input and output device" options. Play with these, save your settings and hit "start" at the main window of Qjackctl to start the engine. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
Re: Tascam us-122 (non L!): the lights are ON, but no sound.
I'm having problems in understanding how to reply messages... Anyway, hope it works. 1) yes it's me! 2) if I type "amixer -c2" (yes, the number is right) i get no input. If I type "speaker-test -Dfront:USX2Y -c2" i get no noise, and a long output message... If I type the thing about jack, it comes out like this: " gyl@gyl-desktop:~$ jackd -dalsa -dhw:USX2Y -n3 jackd 0.118.0 Copyright 2001-2009 Paul Davis, Stephane Letz, Jack O'Quinn, Torben Hohn and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details Memory locking is unlimited - this is dangerous.

Try: speaker-test -Dfront:USX2Y -c2 You should hear pink noise. Another thing, have you tried with jack? Try for example: jackd -dalsa -dhw:USX2Y -n3 (This is in a terminal, as a test. There is a gui frontend called qjackctl or Jack Control. This command means, more or less: Use the alsa driver on the card hw:USX2Y in realtime mode, with 3 periods per buffer, 48000 kHz, 1024 frames per period). If jackd starts, install aqualung (a jack-aware audio player) and try playing a song. Many of us use jack to capture / playback audio. Actually, Linux DAWs depend on jack. Gnome sound preferences is a pulseaudio frontend. I don't know if pulseaudio works with your card or not, but you should use Jack if you want to record music. Note that both pulseaudio and jack use the alsa driver.

Tascam us-122 (non L!): the lights are ON, but no sound.
Hello. I hope I'm doing it properly... I just got this US122 (used) and I can't get it working. Googling around and trying for days, I haven't been able to solve the issue. Let's start from the beginning: I have got Lucid, and I used an italian guide to set the kernel rt and the programs. Then I proceded, using a guide on the web, to set up the card. It wasn't hard to succeed in make it blink (the "usb" light), and make the system recognize it (in the audio preferences I actually can see it, although it sometimes has input/output and sometimes only input...) The problem: as soon as I select it as output, I hear no sound. Say, in the audio player, if I select the card as output and then I press play, it doesn't play (not only is it silent, but it stands still). As input, the sound recorder doesn't start, and I get no input level. That's all... i tried a lot of things. I'm in contact with a Casey ( :) ) who says that he is working with it, and I'm waiting for his response. I already tried to uninstall and reinstall alsa packages. Now I'm writing here... p.s.: it works with another O.S., something ugly with some strange name like Windows (seven...).
