Re: [Alsa-user] USB Audio Input Controls / Level - Functionality Improvement

hello
I go back on my problem with the interace Komplete audio 6 from Native
Instruments.
in short the problem is with the snd-usb-audio driver that I don't have any
device capture control and some strange device output.
The release of my card is :
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 17cc:1001 Native Instruments

I see that in the source alsa the same device is : 17cc:1000  (note the one
end differs)

I supposed that the functionnality is not complete because of the id
product is not the same.
So I edit the source of sound/usb and change the idproduct 1000 to 1001
where I find it then I compile a new kernel wtih a new module snd-usb-audio
from the linux-source of the distribution (ubuntu)

No luck , it's not so simple : even if the driver loads,  the card doesn't.
Probably the one say that something has changing in the card.
The error message is :
[3.897212] usb 4-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci
[3.990359] usb 4-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=17cc,

ehci-pci
[   17.162692] snd-usb-audio: probe of 4-1.2:1.0 failed with error -11
[ ...]i


I don't know what to do else.
Any help will be welcome.
thanks,

 hello,
 can I squat on this thread because I bought the same card last week?

 the strange affair for me  is that the system doesn't show the same
 behavior when I turn on the computer with the card or when i plug the card
 once the computer is running. anyway it shows some trouble with surround
 7.1, 5.1, and analog 2.1
 of course there is no surrond in the card, I believe.just main and
 secondary  entry and output with 2 channels.

 The output of lsusb -v -d 17cc:1001 (not 1000) is in the file

Hi,

I find it hard to believe that your soundcard offers no control over input
level, or that alsa can't parse the control information from your card.
Try shutting down anything related to pulse audio, and use simple command
line tools like 'amixer' to read or set your controls.
If it still doesn't work, you must provide us with more information, like
kernel version, libasound version.. etc

Regards,

Sam

 Hi,

 I am using the ALSA snd_usb_audio kernel driver with my Native Instruments
 Komplete Audio 6.

 All Audio input levels are low and cannot be seperated from within
 pulseaudio, which are all mapped into one.  No ALSA mixer controls exist
 for
 the input channels.

 This is in relation to the previous poster.

 I have a studio microphone on my desk to use with my experimental microwave
 radio card.  I also would like to do some ELF monitoring this summer to
 listen for lightning whistlers and other interesting natural emissions. I
 would also like to have another input channel record my garden in the
 ultrasonic range, for bird, bat, cricket, and mouse sounds.

 This is not possible at this time because of these issues. Any help with
 the
 driver would be excellent.

 Thanks,
 Chapman
