[16:15] <emma> hi
[16:16] <emma> i have a problem to install my sound card
[16:16] <emma> ##http://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-122
[16:17] <emma> anybody can help me
[16:20] <holstein> emma: sure
[16:20] <holstein> emma: you wont like it, though
[16:21] <holstein> i *had* one of those.. i personally decided to give it to a friend who uses OSX
[16:21] <emma> ???
[16:21] <holstein> its a pain.. i found that it worked with a custom jack start command.. and, it wasnt worth the hassle to me
[16:22] <emma> ok no issu ? you cofirm
[16:22] <holstein> you dont "install" it like that.. i mean, if tascam wants, they can look at all of linux/ubuntu/ubuntustudio and give you an installer, but, i find, if hardware doesnt automatically work in linux, it can be problematic or impossible to easily support it
[16:22] <emma> what the best card usb compatible
[16:22] <emma> ?
[16:23] <holstein> emma: 'best' is a matter of opinion and use case, and ideally they would all be "class compliant"
[16:23] <holstein>  and, i would try the tascam again in 14.04.. last i tried it was 13.04
[16:23] <emma> waouh,, i just know copy and paste lol
[16:23] <holstein> i would disable or remove any other devices if possible.. and plug the tascam and run "aplay -l " and "arecord -l"
[16:24] <holstein> !paste
[16:25] <emma> its not reconized with Qjack CTL
[16:25] <holstein> emma: i would personally not introduce JACK into the equation yet
[16:25] <holstein> emma: have you , in fact, ran the commands above?
[16:26] <emma> ok
[16:26] <holstein> emma: open a terminal and run "aplay -l" and "arecord -l"
[16:26] <holstein> emma: then, you can pastebin the output if you would like me to look at it
[16:26] <holstein> emma: *then* after this, we discuss JACK..
[16:26] <emma> jack is nice with my microphone usb
[16:26] <holstein> alsa recognizes and supports it first.. then, JACK works
[16:26] <holstein> emma: ?
[16:26] <holstein> emma: i am not implying anything about the quality of JACK

[16:27] <holstein> emma: i am simply starting a troubleshooting path, and JACK is not important to this
[16:27] <holstein> emma: you need to read..
[16:27] <holstein> !paste

[16:28] <holstein> emma: please use the pastebin
[16:28] <emma> ok sorry
[16:29] <holstein> emma: in the link above, you can get to the pastebin...
[16:29] <emma> i have ok
[16:29] <emma> sorry
[16:30] <holstein> emma: you paste, and share the link here..
[16:30] <holstein> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8115502/
[16:36] <emma> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8115536/
[16:37] <emma> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8115547/
[16:37] <holstein> emma: so, you can see that alsa is not seeing the device
[16:38] <emma> yes nothing about tascam us122 or else
[16:38] <holstein> correct.. so, the device and the device manufacturer doesnt support linux/alsa "out of the box"
[16:39] <emma> so ? no solution ?
[16:39] <holstein> emma: id say, i wasted about 20+ hours on that device.. and i personally dont consider it worth the effort.. and it had compromises when i did get it working
[16:39] <holstein> emma: as i said, if tascam wants to provide a solution, they can
[16:39] <holstein> emma: nothing is broken or wrong here.. they didnt promise you linux support..
[16:40] <holstein> is this the us122l ?
[16:40] <holstein> or just the 122?
[16:40] <emma> no its the old us122
[16:40] <holstein> you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122
[16:40] <holstein> http://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-122
[16:41] <emma> ok and for have a good card ???
[16:41] <holstein> emma: personally, i would make a seperate test partition install dedicated to trying to provide support for this device
[16:41] <emma> ty if you have try
[16:41] <holstein> i would start with http://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-122#Tascam_US-122_on_Debian_and_Ubuntu
[16:42] <emma> the first link echec on step 3
[16:42] <holstein> emma: echec?
[16:44] <emma> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8115582/
[16:44] <emma> 404
[16:44] <emma> not found
[16:44] <emma> oups
[16:45] <emma> im tried of this card with linux
[16:45] <emma> i go by another one day
[16:45] <holstein> emma: sure. thats what i did
[16:45] <holstein> emma: i found it wasnt worth the hassle
[16:45] <emma> yep
[16:45] <emma> have you a cheap and good card ?
[16:46] <holstein> depends on your needs..
[16:46] <emma> focusrite,,, akai ... is there a list of sound card 100% comp
[16:48] <holstein> emma: to ask the operating system what works 100% is backwards
[16:48] <emma> backwarks
[16:48] <holstein> emma: linux/ubuntu/ubuntustudio is all open and *any* company is able to and welcome to create whatever they like that is supported on the platform
[16:49] <holstein> emma: if you want "100% compatible", ask the vendor for linux support
[16:49] <emma> lol
[16:49] <holstein> otherwise, most usb devices these days are class compliant, and should just work
[16:49] <holstein> i personally just try them, and save the reciepts and make sure i can return them if they do not support inux
[16:49] <holstein> linux*
[16:50] <emma> scarlet focusrite ??
[16:50] <holstein> emma: sure.. ask them if they support linux
[16:51] <emma> lol
[16:51] <emma> shusss
[16:51] <holstein> emma: or, just try them.. we are not focusrite.. so, we cannot provide support for the device
[16:51] <emma> and TY
[16:51] <holstein> not sure what is so funny about that..
[16:51] <holstein> its not the focusrite project here.. we are not doing anything to prevent focusrite from supporting linux
[16:51] <emma> its linux
[16:51] <emma> its normal
[16:51] <holstein> they are welcome to be class compliant, or, provide linux software, or drivers
[16:51] <emma> no prob
[16:52] <holstein> emma: its not normal to expect the operating system to support the hardware
[16:52] <holstein> emma: focusrite provides windows and OSX support.. and they are welcome to provide linux support
[16:52] <emma> ty holstein your are cool
[16:52] <holstein> otherwise, the devices *should* be class compliant.. but, there are no guarantees that can be given here
[16:52] <emma> good day ,,,, im limited with english sorry
[16:52] <holstein> i would ask for first hand devices in #opensourcemsucians
[16:54] <emma> TY x 1000
