just bought a TASCAM US-16x08 audio interface, and although said to be
unsupported, it performs fine with Jack in my Ubuntu Studio 12.04. There is a
minor issue at startup (probably with the usb hardware recognition at alsa
startup time). However, if the us-16x08 doesn't show in QJackCtrl rightaway,
it is sufficient to stop ALSA (by selecting a different audio driver in
QJackCtrl), relaunch Jack, stop it and switch back to ALSA. Once recognized it
performs fine.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now this is for the audio interface. The us-16x08 also features a
built-in mixer with compressors and EQs which are accessible through a settings
panel software for Win and MAC (download from the TASCAM web site:
http://tascam.com/content/downloads/products/859/us-16x08_driver_v103_win.zip).
I tried to run it in wine (1.4 and later 1.6), and it has a problem loading
qwindows.dll (from QT5), although as far as I can tell, the library is where it
should be in the installation folder. A lot of wine applications have this
issue, and cures have been found, yet it seems that none of them works for the
tascam software.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any ideas how to get this program running in wine? And if not,
wouldn't it be a nice community task proposition to get it running in Ubuntu
Studio? After all, the US-16x08 is a professional and affordable audio
interface, with the settings panel running, it would be fully supported! A real
plus for Linux musicians. Maybe add it to winetricks?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unfortunately, I am not much of a programmer, but I could help
experiment if someone provides the instructions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks and best regards,</div>
