[opensuse] USB audio device not configured correctly
I've just purchased an inexpensive USB cassette player in order to archive/preserve some audio cassette recordings of some interviews I did years ago, and I've run into a slight issue with the detection of the device. The device identifies as a JMTek USB Audio Device (Vendor 0c76, Device 160a). I'm using openSUSE 12.2. When I plug the device in and connect to it with Audacity, and I only get a mono channel (rather than a stereo setup). Looking at the output of "lsusb -v", I see that the input terminal is identified as a microphone with one channel. If I start a Windows VM in Virtualbox and connect the device to that, it is recognized (in Windows) as a stereo device, and I can record left and right channels, so the hardware should be recognized as having stereo channels via USB. There are no special drivers installed for the Windows VM (it was just "plug and play"). I'd much rather not have to boot up a Windows VM in order to record audio from this device. I also would prefer to not use line-in, as I almost always have ended up with a 60 cycle hum recording that way, and I don't get that if I record over the USB connection (the USB connection also powers the device). snd_usb_audio is automatically loading when I plug the device in. Are there any tricks that I might apply to getting this device recognized properly or to diagnose why it's being identified as a mono device?

IIRC, I had good luck on a linuxaudio mailing list, so that might be worth a try if you don't find an answer here. http://linuxaudio.org/ Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
