Re: [Line6linux-devel] POD HD500x working

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi Andrej,
   I made the tests,
- Removing LINE6_CAP_CONTROL disable playback in the unit, I can still
capture but no sound come out of the unit. The "receive length failed
(error -11)" disappear. Since Initialization is required for playback, the
.ctrl_if is needed and thus the simple patch will only work in Kernel 4.9
and above.
-Removing LINE6_CAP_IN_NEEDS_OUT has no effect, so it's not needed.

We still have the "receive length failed (error -11)" error, any other
ideas of how to solve it? Or is not necessary?

Just of curiosity, is there any difference in the usb_device_id
podhd_id_table[] if I use
{ LINE6_DEVICE(0x4159), .driver_info = LINE6_PODHD500X },
instead of:
{ LINE6_IF_NUM(0x4159, 0), .driver_info = LINE6_PODHD500X },

The current table is:
/* table of devices that work with this driver */
static const struct usb_device_id podhd_id_table[] = {
    /* TODO: no need to alloc data interfaces when only audio is used */
    { LINE6_DEVICE(0x5057),    .driver_info = LINE6_PODHD300 },
    { LINE6_DEVICE(0x5058),    .driver_info = LINE6_PODHD400 },
    { LINE6_IF_NUM(0x414D, 0), .driver_info = LINE6_PODHD500_0 },
    { LINE6_IF_NUM(0x414D, 1), .driver_info = LINE6_PODHD500_1 },
    { LINE6_IF_NUM(0x414A, 0), .driver_info = LINE6_PODX3 },
    { LINE6_IF_NUM(0x414B, 0), .driver_info = LINE6_PODX3LIVE },
    { LINE6_IF_NUM(0x4159, 0), .driver_info = LINE6_PODHD500X },
    {}
};
