Yamaha THR10 amp / USB2.0 audio interface (Clemens?)

[chris kennedy]

I have one of these new amps from Yamaha and they have a usb component which enables one to hook it to a computer and record into a DAW. It uses a Yamaha Steinberg usb driver to work on windows and mac. Its a usb 2.0 interface and its not class compliant from what i've read. Any ideas how to make a linux system see it as a soundcard? I would love to be able to use this thing ardour etc. Many thanks in advance.

This article very briefly seems to indicate that it works somewhat with
linux:

http://en.m.audiofanzine.com/modeling-combo-amplifier/yamaha/thr-series-thr10/user_reviews/r.101622.html

I would plug it in and try it. Even if all you can get is 16 bit input,
that may be all you need. It looks like a two channel device and so if you
get 24bit in that would be great too. (USB1.1 and 2.0)

The setup editing stuff will not work for sure, but your interest is just
sound input/output. If all else fails use audio out (headphones?) to
soundcard input. You have the unit anyway, so experiment. The Yamaha page
for it is very sparse when it comes to any technical details.

Yamaha -1

Yamaha will not let me download the user manual without signing in. I
don't buy anything without access to the user manual before I buy and I
don't need someone being nosy about who I am just for that.

Yes I have stood in a store and read through the manual with the box open
before deciding to buy. Most sales people know less than I do... this is
not saying I know a lot but most sales people know less. With audio
computer IF I will try it in the store with my computer. That way I don't
buy what doesn't work and the sales people are educated a bit on why some
things are better than others. It may affect what that store orders in the
future... One can always hope anyway :)

Please show the output of "lsusb -v" for this device.

Please try adding the following entry somewhere in sound/usb/quirks-table.h:

{
        USB_DEVICE(0x0499, 0x1507),
        .driver_info = (unsigned long) & (const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk) {
                /* .vendor_name = "Yamaha", */
                /* .product_name = "THR10", */
                .ifnum = QUIRK_ANY_INTERFACE,
                .type = QUIRK_COMPOSITE,
                .data = (const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk[]) {
                        {
                                .ifnum = 1,
                                .type = QUIRK_AUDIO_STANDARD_INTERFACE
                        },
                        {
                                .ifnum = 2,
                                .type = QUIRK_AUDIO_STANDARD_INTERFACE
                        },
                        {
                                .ifnum = 3,
                                .type = QUIRK_MIDI_YAMAHA
                        },
                        {
                                .ifnum = -1
                        }
                }
        }
},

Strange, the very first google search I did for 'yamaha thr10 user manual' turned up three hits in a row for it, including this one...

http://download.yamaha.com/search/product/?category_id1=16171&category_id2=16173&product_id=1602647

Which has it listed and I confirmed you can download without having to sign in.

The short of dealing with Yamaha is always Google search, their websites are horrible for support.

Does "aplay -l" list THR10 devices?

So the driver works.

So maybe you have to configure it to use the THR10.

Is the OP not including LAU in his replies or do I simply not get all
the mail?
