Hello, I contacted the tech support at usb.org. I got in touch with a man called Mark Paxson from USB-IF Compliance. I described the problem we are having with the Quattro. I quote from his answer:
> Does the device you identify carry the USB-IF logo as displayed at the > top of the USB.ORG website http://www.usb.org/home? If so, they are > in violation and the USB-IF can contact them. To which I sent pictures of the Quattro, and the answer was: > The icon they are using is called the USB Trident and is part of the > USB specification for identifying a USB port. You are correct in that > they are not in violation of a license agreement for using that icon. > So there's not much the USB-IF can do in regard to their > non-compliance. In short, they do not have the authority to force M-Audio to change the behaviour of the device. So, if M-Audio doesn't supply firmware updates, we have to select one of these: a) Stick with 2.4.x b) Try to reverse engineer the firmware. Which is almost impossible, because I do not know of any tools to get firmware out of the device or if the Quattro even supports firmware updates. c) Get 2.6.x to accept the device despite the strange settings.
