Just wanted to say a big thanks for all the great work you guys do, thanks to
Samuel and Clemens too but I've given up on the chinese xmos board. I have a
little girl, another on the way and a hectic charity job - and diagnosing the
issue with the xmos board has already taken up enough of my time.
Bought an amanero usb i2s board last night as I understand it should just work
out of the box under linux with alsa,
cheers

Yes,
this is exactly the kind of traces I was thinking of. It looks like some
control isn't supported by the device.
Maybe it need a quirk to work right, or the descriptor and needs fixing ?
I am afraid I can't do much more without the actual device to play with.
Since it works under windows, you can try to look at the window driver's source
code and understand how they do it differently.
You can also dump all the usb control messages using wireshark for usb capture
- works under both Linux and Windows, and look for differences.
Has any one else ever tried to use this device with Linux ? Maybe some
workaround in Alsa is necessary and nobody has done it yet.

Hi Samuel,
Should I be posting back to the Alsa mailing list? I'm not sure how this works,
I ran the command: sudo tail /var/log/kern.log the output is below, is this
what is needed or do I need more log files?

Thank you for the reply Samuel,
I'm on a steep learning curve here and have never used logs with Linux,
Should I type
sudo tail /var/log/messages
after plugging in my usb card?
Will this be the best method to discover if my Kernel was compiled with DEBUG?
What should I look for here?
not sure about the kern.log either, what command should I issue?
any pointers as to how I should go about deciphering the logs and getting them
to you would be great,
Sorry to be such a noob at this,
Stu

Hi Stu,
it looks like Alsa is having trouble retrieving mixer control information from
the device,
or a quirk is missing, or something like that.
Recent kernels have a new usb_audio_dbg() feature that dynamically enable
printing of debug information for usb audio.
If you kernel was compiled with DEBUG, this information should be logged in
messages or kern.log
Otherwise you need to recompile with this option or with DYNAMIC_DEBUG option,
and then activate debug traces for the mixer using the command:
echo "file mixer.c" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
Activating traces for any file located under "sound/usb/" could also be useful.
Then, plug your card, try to aplay and amixer, and let us know what comes out.
Hope this helps,
Sam

Have spent a weekend on this before I called for help, any advice would be
great - specifically if this xmos board will not work then I will know - it
works under windows fine.
It is the 10pin U8 xmos daughter board for chinese AK4399 dac also for the
ES9018 Dac i Believe
