    Can anyone confirm whether this driver will work with the PODx3?  I tried updating usbdefs.h and driver.c (line6_id_table, line6_name_table, and line6_bits_table), but so far I don't seem to be able to capture audio.

      If you just want to capture audio from your POD, plug the line out into your computer's sound card. You'll likely need at jack convertor (I don't know what these are really called but they convert a large (6.35mm?) jack into a small (3.5mm?) jack).  I did this with my Bass POD XT Live and the results were great; much easier than struggling to get this software to work.

        Could you please let me know what the problems were with the driver? Which version did you try?

        Kind regards,
        Markus

            Did you try version 0.7.3 in the meantime?

            Kind regards,

              Hi

              No I don't think so. When was that released? Is there a change log?

                It was released a few weeks ago (have a look at http://www.tanzband-scream.at/line6\), a change log is included in the documentation (http://www.tanzband-scream.at/line6/driverdocs.pdf), though it only lists "visible" changes. You may also want to watch the thread http://line6.com/support/thread.jspa?messageID=137121&#137121 in the Line6 forum, where I post announcements regarding the driver.

                Kind regards,

      Since it is called *POD*x3, I suppose it is sufficiently similar to the other POD devices to use the driver with few modifications. Can you please send me your modified files and the output of "lsusb -v" (with the PODx3 switched on and connected)?

      Thanks & Kind regards,
      Markus

      Hi. I make debian module from svn driver, everything ok and then connect my pod x3 and dmesg:

      Maybe it was faall my new pod firmware? I'm not programmer, how can I help to make usb driver?

        Looks like the module and the kernel don't match. A similar issue is discussed here (though not related to Line6 hardware):

        http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2005/04/0246.html

        Maybe this is useful for you.

        Kind regards,

      Maybe You right.
      I have kernel 2.6.23.17 + alsa 1.0.16 from source. What can I do to lost my problem?
      Thank You.

      Hi.
      Now work with my POD driver just from svn link.
      It is from dmesg:

      I have controls with kmix but I have not sound. When I use QJackCtl my system (debian) was crash everytime. When I use jackd from command line:

      but can't record, don't why :(

      I have 2 USB interface "audio" and "user". In "audio" are:

      - ALSA Control (Device File: /dev/snd/controlC1)
      - ALSA Playback (Device File: /dev/snd/pcmC1D0p)
      In "user" is similiar:
      - ALSA Capture (Device File: /dev/snd/pcmC2D0c)
      - ALSA Control (Device File: /dev/snd/controlC2)
      - ALSA Playback (Device File: /dev/snd/pcmC2D0p)
      Why it does'nt work? What I have to do, to listen sound from Pod?

        The POD X3 seems to be too different from the POD Xt series to just re-use the same driver code. Somebody owning a POD X3 and experienced with kernel sound driver programming needs to look at this issue. I don't have one, though I would accept donations :-)

        Kind regards,
        Markus

          I've never done any driver development but I own a X3 Live.  Is there any sort of capturing/inspecting I can do to help out?

          For one, I know the X3 live uses USB 2.0, seems like this may make a significant difference to the driver code?

          It takes advantage of the extra bandwidth by sending more inputs From the manual:

          POD X3 provides 8 audio inputs to your computer via USB:
            1-2 is the main signal, configured on POD X3’s Outputs page for Digital Outs
            3-4 is Tone 1 separately in stereo.
            5-6 is Tone 2 separately in stereo.
            7 is the sum of the inputs you’ve chosen for Tone 1.
            8 is the sum of the inputs you’ve chosen for Tone 2.

          Also, I believe the USB audio can (optionally?) run at 96Khz Sampling Rate

          I'd imagine the interface for controlling the patch settings has changed somewhat to, as the primary new feature in the X3 series is "Dual Tone", the ability to have two independent audio patches processing one or more input signals simultaneously.
