Tascam Us-144

Basically the only reason I don't have Ubuntu installed(i used to though) is because it does not detect my USB audio interface, the tascam US-144. I've seen a bit of dead ends on google while searching for answers for this problem and nothing brightening whatsoever.
Will it ever be compatible?

same here ..anyone??

From linux-2.6.31/sound/usb/usx2y/us122l.c:

Code:

---

static struct usb_device_id snd_us122l_usb_id_table[] = {
    {   
        .match_flags =  USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_DEVICE,
        .idVendor = 0x0644,
        .idProduct =    USB_ID_US122L
    }, 
/*      { */        /* US-144 maybe works when @USB1.1. Untested. */
/*      .match_flags =  USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_DEVICE, */
/*      .idVendor = 0x0644, */
/*      .idProduct =    USB_ID_US144 */
/*  }, */
    { /* terminator */ }
};

---

That is, support for US-144 is commented out.

Looks like user EliasKesh had a go at uncommenting it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...41&postcount=7

Edited to add: MigBc posted a howto.

After configuring ALSA confirmed working under Karmic i686 with 2.6.31-17-generic.

What did you do to get it working?

Follow the Ubuntu Tascam US-144 howto.

At the end it directs you to this page for configuring ALSA.

damn so much trouble jus to get it working. I also have a mbox 2 mini, so I guess this is my best option for Ubuntu. I hate when manufactures think its only Mac and Windows out there.

anyways thanks!

Took all of 20 mins. It was surprisingly painless.

It'll be supported out of the box as soon as someone sorts out the damn uhci/ohci/ehci mess and someone else gives the US144 enough testing to enable it in kernel mainline.

Having to disable USB2.0 is rather annoying.

Yep. Hopefully they will in 10.04, but I doubt anyone remembers about it. Nice to know if I need to do any recording in Ubuntu I can use the 144.
