[PD] Raspberry Pi Behringer UCA222 boot problems

[Dan Wilcox]

Sure, but that's only for certain types of USB devices. Some are working and others aren't. More "professional" sound cards require lower-latency/burst mode over USB which the PI firmware currently doesn't allow and/or doesn't set the correct priority for. The issue AFAICT is that essentially the usb host is software defined on the SOC and they haven't optimized it for usb audio, or something like that.

For instance, I can get stereo out in Pd working fine with my Edirol UA-25 . If I enable an audio input, I get instant dropouts. Yeah, I guess it "works", but not well enough for me.

When I change the USB speed down to 1 (dwc_otg.speed=1) in /boot/cmdline.txt my Pi won't boot with the soundcard plugged in. If I unplug the soundcard the Pi will boot but as soon as I plug it in the Pi crashes. Has anyone got any suggestions about why this is happening?
