Installing M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

[pieniValkoinenHattu]

Hi,

As I want to compose some music, I bought an external audio card and now I would like to know how to make it work on Linux.

I found this patch

CODE

The MIDI interface is class compliant, and this is what's shown by Jack.    The audio interfaces are marked as vendor specific, so the driver needs    to be changed to support them.    Please try recompiling your kernel with the patch below.    Some M-Audio devices use big-endian samples, so beware of speaker-    killing noise.    It's possible that playback synchronization doesn't work completely.    Please check what happens when you try to play and record with different    sample rates.    HTH    Clemens    --- linux/sound/usb/usbaudio.c    +++ linux/sound/usb/usbaudio.c    @@ -2235,6 +2235,10 @@ static void init_substream(struct snd_us                    case USB_ID(0x041e, 0x3f0a): /* E-Mu Tracker Pre */                            subs->ops.retire_sync = retire_playback_sync_urb_hs_emu;                            break;    +               case USB_ID(0x0763, 0x2080): /* M-Audio Fast Track Ultra */    +                       subs->ops.prepare_sync = prepare_playback_sync_urb;    +                       subs->ops.retire_sync = retire_playback_sync_urb;    +                       break;                    }            }            snd_pcm_set_ops(as->pcm, stream,    @@ -2786,6 +2790,7 @@ static int parse_audio_endpoints(struct                            break;                    case USB_ID(0x041e, 0x3020): /* Creative SB Audigy 2 NX */                    case USB_ID(0x0763, 0x2003): /* M-Audio Audiophile USB */    +               case USB_ID(0x0763, 0x2080): /* M-Audio Fast Track Ultra */                            /* doesn't set the sample rate attribute, but supports it */                            fp->attributes |= EP_CS_ATTR_SAMPLE_RATE;                            break;    --- linux/sound/usb/usbquirks.h    +++ linux/sound/usb/usbquirks.h    @@ -1864,6 +1864,33 @@                    }            }     },    +{    +       USB_DEVICE_VENDOR_SPEC(0x0763, 0x2080),    +       .driver_info = (unsigned long) & (const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk) {    +               /* .vendor_name = "M-Audio", */    +               /* .product_name = "Fast Track Ultra", */    +               .ifnum = QUIRK_ANY_INTERFACE,    +               .type = QUIRK_COMPOSITE,    +               .data = & (const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk[]) {    +                       {    +                               .ifnum = 0,    +                               .type = QUIRK_IGNORE_INTERFACE    +                       },    +                       {    +                               .ifnum = 1,    +                               .type = QUIRK_AUDIO_STANDARD_INTERFACE    +                       },    +                       {    +                               .ifnum = 2,    +                               .type = QUIRK_AUDIO_STANDARD_INTERFACE    +                       },    +                       /* interface 3 (MIDI) is standard compliant */    +                       {    +                               .ifnum = -1    +                       }    +               }    +       }    +},         /* Casio devices */     {

The problem is that I really don't know how to use this code !

Also, I would like to make my usb ausio card the default audio output.

That's one heck of a sound device, you must have some serious ambitions!

You could try to install kmod-alsa-1.0.25 from the Elrepo testing repo, this might already contain the above patch. If not then maybe toracat (who AFAIK is a Elrepo packager) can help you further by possibly adding this patch to their kmod-alsa package.

It works perfectly !
Thank you very much !
