MAYA22 USB - Setting up ALSA driver

Operating Systems & Open Source Linux

Update: The interface appears to work with Linux after using USB-passthrough on a Windows VM and the respective driver. This holds on until the next reboot. Seems it's missing some kind of "wake-up signal". Despite that I tried everything one could possibly try. I really need help to get the interface working without this workaround.

Hey there,

I am quite new to Linux and try to get my audio interface (ESI MAYA22 USB) to work which is according to the vendor list supposed to be compatible.

In my first attempt I unmuted all channels after I installed a new distro. After that didn't work I tried to assign my default device manually by its hardware ID but nothing had any effect on it.
There is no way to receive an output signal or any functions like the input monitor. Any other devices like HDMI-audio works out of the box.

Any idea what I could do?

On the vedor list there's a link to a utility for your audio device.
Compile it and see what it does.

Tried without success, unfortunately. Making a udev entry didn't do anything and running the utility with root (so against the dev's instructions) seems buggy. Repeating the same command sometimes triggers sound but it's extremely low and only on one side.

Any idea if ALSA itself can initiate such stubborn devices?
