Anybody any suggestions how to use Tonex as an audio interface on Zynthian?
The interface is recognised as device. I is show as inou and output device in the Zynthian GUI.
Unfortunately no audio in and no audio out. No matter what I set the for samplerate, buffer size and number of buffers… And I selected teh device as input and output for the cjain I am using.
Also on the tonex I switched direct monitoring on and off… (read somewhere it might be necessary)
I am not sure what you mean with fail-safe mode… (I only know safe mode drom windows drivers…)…
but… I tried all permutations possible on the audio soundcard page ‘Soft x-run mode’ but no succes…
I am pretty sure it has to do with Tonex… but perhaps somebody figered it out…
You will have to select the Audio Input and Output routing in each chain’s Audio In/Out menus.
If the latter then it should appear as an interface in teh Hotplug Audio menu where it can be enabled. Then you need to route inputs and outputs in chain Audio In/Out menus.
Thanks… but I have tried using the Tonex as the primary audio interface by selecting it in webconf AND as a secondary audio interface using audio hotplug.
Zynthian does not start when Tonex is the primary audio interface.
When using a Scarlerr or Lewit device as primary audio interface then the Tonex is show in the Zynthian GUI. Input and output and is selectable in the chains as input and/or output.
When connecting the Tonex as secondary device It get:

Is this significant? Something wrong with how Zynthian interprets the audio card?
Specific use? A little bit…
The Lewitt makes it possible to record the zynthian via USB, so totally digital into my recording software on my PC… (Also the 4 analog inputs of which 2 go to the Zynthian (Guitar and Voice) are via the Lewitt available as ‘Dry’ ( = input for the zynthian) signals within my recording software.
Tada
(I try to optimize the AD and DA conversions)
Can you get anything re the problem from the log file(s)? I don’t know where to look specifically, I’m hoping you do.
Can you successfully use the Tonex under Raspberry Pi OS without Zynthian? If so that tells us that at least it works with base RPi. If not, then you might be able to get some help from IK Multimedia. And I wonder if given that error message they could help in either case.
Gemini response re the error message:
The message “bulk endpoint 0x87 has invalid maxpacket 64” indicates a USB communication error, likely due to a mismatch between the device’s reported maximum packet size and the USB standard for its bus speed, possibly requiring a configuration update to match a USB 3.0 high speed device’s standard 512 bytes or more, or a configuration error in the device’s USB descriptors. [1, 2]
Understanding the Error
Bulk endpoint: A type of USB endpoint used to transfer large amounts of data, such as files or storage. [2]
MaxPacket: The largest amount of data that can be sent in a single USB transfer. [2]
Incorrect MaxPacket size: A device reported a MaxPacket size (like the 64-byte value mentioned) that doesn’t match the USB bus speed. For example, if the device is operating at high speed, it should support a larger MaxPacket size. [2]
Misconfigured Descriptors: USB devices have descriptors that describe their capabilities, including endpoint types and MaxPacket sizes. An error in these descriptors can cause this message. [1]
Hardware Mismatch: The device may not be connected to a high-speed USB port, causing a miscommunication. [3]
How to Fix the Error
Check USB Bus Speed: Verify that the device is connected to a USB 3.0 or later port for high-speed data transfer, which supports larger MaxPacket sizes. [2]
Update Device Drivers: Ensure your device has the latest drivers, as they often contain updated information and fixes for USB devices. [2]
Correct Device Descriptors: If you have control over the device’s firmware, check and update the USB descriptors to reflect the correct MaxPacket size for the device’s bus speed. [1]
Thanks for all your help but I am not confident that I can make it work…
I tried the Tonex One on a fresh image… audio output works but recording doesn’t.
I installed guitarix ( sudo apt install jackd2 qjackctl pipewire-pulse guitarix) to check jack2…
Unfortunately this doesn’t either. Jack crashes…

So, I stop trying to make it work. This is something for somebody who is knowledgeble and skilled.
