I picked up an Echo Audio Echo 2 USB Interface. The product specs list
iPad support through camera connection kit, so I assume it is class
compliant. http://echoaudio.com/blogs/news/6454472-echo-digital-audio-introduces-the-echo-2-usb-audio-interface

However, on most systems when I plug the device in, it shows up in my
sound settings panel under the Input tab, but not under the Output
tab.

Recording works. I can successfully record with arecord -vv -fdat -D
"plughw:CARD=Audio,DEV=0" echo.wav. I also can increase the sample
rate by changing the flags. I verified that the sample rate actually
increases by recording a 50khz test tone into the input and examining
the wave form in an editor. It's there! So this is very promising.
(anyone know of a test to verify bit depth? I want to make sure it's
actually recording at 24bits.)

Playback however, is nothing but trouble. Like I said, the output
device doesn't show up in the Output tab in my sound settings
(gnome/pulse). However, when I list devices and available PCMs with
aplay -l and aplay -L the device shows up on the lists. See specimens
#1, #2, and #3. When I try to play though I get about a 1/4 second of
audio and then nothing, and subsequent attempts to play sound output
nothing. The device then must be unplugged and plugged back in. I'm
playing with the command aplay -vv foo.wav
--device="plughw:CARD=Audio,DEV=0". See output screen on specimen #4.

I installed the latest kernel and had the exact same phenomenon. See
specimen #5.

To move forward here. What kind of debugging tools should I use to
help figure out where the problem is? Any suggestions you have to get
it working?

To be sure that the device is in good working order I hooked it up to
an OSX machine running 10.6.8. Everything works great with no
additional drivers installed, or special configurations.


Tanks for your help,

Tristan

Any messages in dmesg when you try this? And does PulseAudio generate
any logs that look suspicious? The output of 'lsusb -v' might also be
helpful.

Silly me, I tried it in a USB 2 port and now I'm getting much better
results. I guess there are problems with this device on a USB 3 port
in Linux - or maybe in general? There are still several problems
though. Now I can get it to record and play with arecord and aplay,
and I can run Jack and Ardour or Audacity with jack selected and do
multitrack recording no problem! HOWEVER, the playback device still
doesn't show up in my Gnome/Pulse manager. Also when I open Audacity
(no jack) the device shows up on the list of ALSA devices but when I
select the device for input or output the device emits several audible
clicks, and when I try to record or play the program either crashes or
goes very very slow and can only play or capture a fraction of a
second worth of data.

Regarding your suggestions, I see very little reported in dmesg. I'm
unaware of separate logs for PulseAudio. Anyone else have any ideas?
It would be convenient, but not critical to get it working like any
other sound device.

Anybody have any ideas for better debugging of the issue? I'd say the
current state is livable but maybe not something I'd say 'works for
anyone.'
