Mageia forum

Hello
I have installed Mageia 4 recently and i have to say that it is the best linux (i started with Mandriva 2006 before many years, i used many many distros but mainly windows).
I use Tascam US-200 sound card (http://www.tascam.eu/en/us-200.html) because is better then "on board" (i am DJ / Producer) and i dont have sound.
What can i do?

Thank you

What desktop environment do you use? Did you select the Tascam as primary device in the mixer?
Please also show the output of

Code: Select all

lspcidrake -v | grep -i audio

If the Tascam is not listed as sound device in the mixer, then deactivate the on-board sound in the BIOS of your PC.
This worked with my Maya 44 usb.

cheers,
Bernd

i use KDE .
and here is the :

Code: Select all

# lspcidrake -v | grep -i audio
snd_hda_intel   : NVIDIA Corporation|MCP61 High Definition Audio [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO_DEV] (vendor:10de device:03f0 subv:1043 subd:840c) (rev: a2)

Right-click mixer -> select main channel -> what is selectable there, and what is currently active?

Only recognize the on board card NVIDIA Corporation|MCP61 High Definition Audio
Nothing else nowhere

Then please do the following: open a terminal, and as root run:

Code: Select all

journalctl -af

then wait a few seconds, and plugin the device, wait again ten seconds or so, until no new output appears.
Then please post the output here, using code tags as explained in ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

Hmmm, seems no driver gets loaded. Can you post the output of

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep usb

For your soundcard I've only found this thread which has some hints: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.ubuntu-it.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fp%3D4298345&sandbox=1

I managed to find this relating to a similar device, the US-224

well similar model number and possibly shares some of the same usb hardware, clearly they are different products.

http://alsa.opensrc.org/Tascam_US-224

hopefully theres enough similarity there to help you.

but this is alot of guessing, as without the device its very difficult to comment further.

most of the forums seem to suggest that tascam products are bricks under linux, so it may be easier
and cheaper to find something that does support linux.

this is something ive always tried to communicate when going Linux, don't try to make Linux work with your hardware,
buy hardware that works with linux.

you would not buy some cheap windows printer, or webcam then expect it to work under macosx would you.

this site looks quite promising for advise
