A friend of mine have bought this neat little USB Audio device, called "Audio Advantage Micro" made by Turtle Beach. It is the size of an USB memory stick, and have a headphone minijack and a blue led. Naturally, I asked to borrow it and tested it on my machines. It works nicely in my Mac mini with headphones connected. My testing machine runs FreeBSD 5.4-stable: root@kg-work# uname -a FreeBSD kg-work.kg4.no 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #3: Fri Jul 8 14:26:44 CEST 2005 root@kg-work.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SS51G i386 r Just connecting the device gives the expected result (in /var/log/messages): Aug 24 22:20:11 kg-work kernel: ugen0: C-Media INC. USB Audio, rev 1.10/0.10, addr 3 Aug 24 22:33:47 kg-work kernel: ugen0: at uhub2 port 2 (addr 3) disconnected Aug 24 22:33:47 kg-work kernel: ugen0: detached Ok, then I do 'kldload snd_uaudio' and try to attach the device again: Aug 25 19:30:15 kg-work kernel: uaudio0: C-Media INC.

(1p/0r/1v channels duplex) (pcm0 is my internal soundcard, just disregard it) I start xmms, change output device (and mixer) to pcm1 and try to play, but it won't. /var/log/messages shows: Aug 25 19:39:19 kg-work kernel: uaudio: This device can't play in rate=44100. Is there anything else I should test before returning this device to my friend? Hmm, wasn't there some usb audio patches (or audio patches) on this list a while ago? are they usable on 5.4-stable? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
