There is no support in Linux for this hardware. From the computer's |
| 24 |
POV it's just an external USB device, partially an audio device, and |
| 25 |
partially just controlled over USB. I've told pulseaudio and KDE in |
| 26 |
general not to use it but I continue to see problems. I have no idea |
| 27 |
what functionality the USB control port is providing. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I think the next step is to actually blacklist the device by its |
| 30 |
USB device ID ala something like this: |

| 33 |
|
| 34 |
and see what happens. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
This whole thing isn't overly critical to me. The device itself is |
| 37 |
stand alone in operation. It's only attached to a computer to do editing |
| 38 |
which actually can be done on the device's GUI without a computer, or |
| 39 |
I can hook it to a Windows laptop, or even this machine if booted into |
| 40 |
Windows. I was just wanting to be in Linux but open a VM to allow |
| 41 |
me to edit more easily, which I actually can do but I have to hit the |
| 42 |
reconnect button in software or pull the USB cable, both of which |
| 43 |
work but are hacks. |
