Title: Help required ... TCL + DeadBeeF + M2Tech HiFace
Post by: Ipoci on August 26, 2013, 02:53:33 PM

Hi team.

I need suggestions in order to make my USB>SPDIF converter working under TCL/DeadBeef installation. The converter is well known M2Tech EVO and works with Linux environment:

http://www.m2tech.biz/evo.html#driver

Linux installation procedure:

https://github.com/panicking/snd-usb-asyncaudio/wiki

How can I do the same with TCL ?

Thanks in advance. Max

I give it a go...

Following Juanito's advice from a previous thread, you need to DL and load (or "on Boot" if you prefer) the following extensions:
- compiletc
- linux-headers tinycore 3.0.21
- bash
- ncurses-dev
- perl5

Then, following wiki you posted, DL and load the following extension:
- git

Open Terminal:
$ git clone git://github.com/panicking/snd-usb-asyncaudio.git
$ cd snd-usb-asyncaudio
$ make

You can install the module or just run:
$ sudo insmod snd-usb-asyncaudio.ko

The very last command did not work. Perhaps because I do not have such audio card in my system, but everything is confirmed saved on USB pendrive.
Perhaps a moderator can confirm that the last command can be accepted by TCL.
You can try on your system. If it works, you should be able to have it installing at boot time.

Hi bibo01

$ sudo insmod snd-usb-asyncaudio.ko

I think  modprobe  is the preferred command.

Something doesn't work during final command:

This seems OK

modprobe does not require the '.ko'.

Unfortunately same error with or without the .ko extension

cp the module (*.ko) to some path where other alsa modules (snd*.ko) reside before running depmod.

I don't see anything called  snd-usb-asyncaudio.ko  in that list.

Yeah, last version of driver change filename to " snd-usb-hiface.ko " but as you can see from my previous post I also tried the right one without success... Driver developer just confirmed me the name ( thanks Michael ) ...

But due to the fact I'm a stubborn, I did the following steps:

- deleted the /home/tc/snd-usb-asyncaudio directory
- moved to root /
- did again the installation procedure using sudo in front of commands ( now directory is /snd-usb-asyncaudio )
- as final " /snd-usb-asyncaudio/sudo insmod snd-usb-hiface.ko "

And now works ... DeadBeef see Hiface and sounds ... :-)

Not sure if everything will remain as is after a reload but 1st step is definitely achieved !

Thanks for the moment. Max
