That's awesome! I went back to using windows 7 for a bit with my audio device, until eventually I became fed up with the driver problems (not to mention windows in general) and tried linux again, this time on a different machine... and it worked!
I suspect the previous USB chipset was causing me more problems than typical, as I am now very much enjoying the OOTB experience. I did see updates to the driver as well (workarounds/adding delays) in the time that had elapsed. As far as 'nice features', I believe that they are mostly useless to me as on windows they are 'printed', eg, compressor/eq are applied not only to the monitored output, but also to the bitstream received by the computer. I very much prefer to be able to capture the raw data and adjust compression/eq after the fact. In my case with an i5 and Ardour, I am able to run those same fx and push data back out to the device with usable roundtrip latency. (I use my US16x08 for live sound during music practice/rehearsal). However, for certain situations (less processor power - imagine controlling this device with your tablet!, or an application that is even more sensitive to latency?) I could see this being immensely helpful. Not only that, if we crack open this egg, there's the possibility that we could improve or pave the way to improving the signal chain within the device itself! I'm happy to test if you'd like to take this off-list. Please document and share what you have found! -g On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 01:45:47AM -0700, OnkelDead wrote:
Hi Greg, if your request is still relevant I think I may help. On my PC the common alsa driver worked OOTB. I did process what you've mentioned and analyzed USB communication of Tascam US-16x08 in a Windows 7 VM, but my intention was to get access to all this nice features (compressors, EQs) the device offers from my Ubuntu Studio 14.04. As also an USB noob, several smoking heads and 2 weeks later I was able to patch my snd-usb-audio kernel driver to support all mixer interfaces of that device. Interested?
