Status of the Tascam US-122mkII???

[jordan johnston <triplesquarednine@gmail.com>]

hello,

Recently, i have gotten my hands on a Tascam US-122mkII.  i have done
a lot of reading/googling and i can see that the device has been added
to the snd-usb-us122l  and even-cross referenced my own device to make
sure the Id and such were there.
Currently, i am unable to get sound out of the Unit.   it does
however, power up on boot.
I have tried many things to get it working, and i have even gotten
Jack to give me the option of picking this Device, however it shows
errors
and does not work :(

**** I am curious about the status of these drivers??

**** does anyone have this unit working at all?

**** and the steps they used to get it working. ( as much of the info
i have read doesn't seem quite uptodate )

is there possibly firmware for this unit or do i use the -US122L
firmware instead?

for Just a bit of background, I am using Fedora 12 with Planet CCRMA.
however, i do not using the CCRMA kernel, as it doesn't cut it for me.
A: it doesn't support a lot of newer hardware, B: it doesn't use MSI-X
on my machine(shared USB/soundcard) C: It's  bloated... D: no BFS
scheduler.
Instead i am using Zen-kernel  which tends to be a lot more up to
date, and i have gotten much better performance from Zen than any
other
kernel on any distro i have ever used.

now, I am more than willing to provide any information that might
help....  this is what i know so far.

dmesg:

ALSA sound/usb/usx2y/usb_stream.c:603: status=-2
ALSA sound/usb/usx2y/usb_stream.c:603: status=-2
ALSA sound/usb/usx2y/us122l.c:365: us122l_start error -14
snd-usb-us122l: probe of 1-5:1.1 failed with error -22


i have tried googling these messages to no avail. i poked around
through the driver, i've tried some of the trouble-shooting tips
provided by the guy who originally
got the older models to work, removing echi-hcd, or unbinding it,
unplugging it, etc. but nothing seems to be making a difference.
Then my thought was that i need a proper asound.conf or .asoundrc.
because the soundcard seems to be available, when i unbind it and
unplug/plug the unit back in.
 i even tried removing them to see if on reboot, that they might be
reconfigured, but no luck.

if anyone can provide help, that would be greatly appreciated.   I
have a 30-day return, so if i can't figure it out, i will be returning
it
for a FFADO approved/fully-supported device. however that being said,
wouldn't it be nice to still take the opportunity to have this
device better supported or help debug some issues??

while i am not a really good programmer, i think i could be useful, as
i have this device in front of me
and can provide useful information to developers, just let me know
what you need!
