Description

Hi there!

I own a Tapco Link.Firewire which I dearly want to use. However, due to issues with my graphics card or drivers under Windows, I'm unable to use it on Windows. So I'm trying to run it with FFADO on Linux. Obviously, default configurations won't do, since FFADO does not seem to support it (yet).

Adi in #ffado @ freenode.net told me that Tapco Link.Firewire might be an AVC device. I couldn't retrieve any information on the chipset it is using on the Internet, so I dl'd the 1.999.42 tarball (I have the exact same compiled libffado/etc. installed from the official Ubuntu repositories), changed the rw access for my user onto /dev/raw1394 and tried to run ffado-test.

That's what I got: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/396392/

Any further step I should be taking to obtain information? I'd be glad if I can help :)

  • version changed from FFADO 2.0-rc2 (1.999.42) to FFADO SVN (trunk).
  • milestone deleted.

First steps are:

  1. Run "ffado-test Discover -v6" to get more output.
  2. Compile ffado yourself (from trunk!) with support for all devices activated and retry the first.

You could also try other tools like gscanbus to get the vendor- and product-id of the device...

Compiled ffado from trunk (had to compile Jack myself, too, which however is completely unrelated to this topic) and ffado-test dies in a segmentation fault while still giving out some output *scratches his head*. Attached new_stderr.log for that.

Tried gscanbus, too, the output is in gscanbus_output.jpg.

I guess this doesn't really help - am I doing something wrong or is there any other method to get further info?
