us144mkii/README.md

Current feat:

• Vendor Specific Config & Initialization,

• Working Playback with glitches due to missing feedback clock resync(maybe)

• migrated working playback(with some glitches still) to kernel ALSA driver

  • To compile and run it follow these steps:
    • Blacklist us122l driver in order to be able to use this custom driver
    • Get your linux headers via your package manager
    • cd to driver directory & run sudo insmod us144mk2.ko
    • Under sound setting you should see TASCAM US144MKII device
    • the device should produce audio playback with glitches
  • The release alsa custom driver might not work on newer kernel versions currently its been written on debian 12 6.1 kernel. You might need to compile kernel with make and sudo insmod it.

To run need pulseaudio and libusb, to compile you need dev packages like gcc to compile the src c code.

To make the compiled or release kernel module run on boot execute these commands echo "us144mkii" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/us144mkii.conf sudo mkdir -p /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/us144mkii/ sudo cp us144mkii.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/us144mkii/ sudo depmod -a sudo systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service
