[Solved]Possible problem with Alsa module

[aplannan]

Hi,
I just picked up a Tascam US-144 on ebay. When run through a USB 1.1 port it functions as a US-122L.  I have done a bunch of reading and believe there may be a bug in snd-usb-us122l  alsa module. For more info - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53241

I downloaded the linux-3.8.10-patched.txz kernel source so that I could try to apply the one-line patch mentioned in the link above. I also downloaded the config-3.8.10-tinycore file renamed it to .config and placed it in the root directory after extracting the kernel files. I was able to edit us122l.c and compile to the point that I had snd-usb-us122l.o , but I'm not sure what I need to do to get from .o to .ko.gz and if I'll then be able to build a new alsa modules tcz with the patched module and have that work.

Any help would be super appreciated.

I'm not sure which version of tinycore you're using, but if you're using the latest version, then you need linux-3.8.13-patched.txz and config-3.8.13-tinycore.

Once you've copied config-3.8.13-tinycore to the top level of the unpacked kernel source and renamed it to .config, you need to "make oldconfig" and then "make modules".

Thanks for the advice. I'm still using TC 5.0 so I had the right kernel sources. Just needed the right make arguments. Worked out great and I have my Tascam US-144 up and running.

Is there anyway I could help so that anyone else trying to get one of these Tascams (144 or 122L) running wouldn't have to do the same fix? I feel really lucky that I found the bug page and was able to make it work.
