My M-Audio Oxygen 25 MIDI controller doesn't work....

Silex89 · 2012-01-26 02:01:15

Hi guys, I bought a few months ago a brand new M-Audio Oxygen25 USB MIDI controller (3rd generation) for my home studio, and when I plug the USB to my laptop and turn on the switch, the keyboard doesn't start. When I do lsusb its not there either. The only way to give energy to the device is through the USB connection, which is the only data and energy plug (It was working in WIn7). I don't know what's the problem, I have the midisport-firmware installed from AUR, jack2 + qjackctl, Ardour and some other pro audio apps.

Please help...

Regards

Hm, do you get any output when running 'udevadm monitor' and connect/disconnect your device?

Thanks for answering! , I tried udevadm monitor, plugged in and out and nothing happened...No output at all, what does this mean?

No lsusb output, no udev event, i guess, your device isn't recognized at all. Sorry, but i have to ask: are you sure your usb cable is okay and your usb port is working? It should at least be recognized and afaik M-Audio Oxygen are well supported under linux (maybe even without the midisport-firmware package, i don't know, some say this, some say that). Strange, that it worked under Win, have you rechecked that recently?

The ports of my laptop are ok, I plug other devices every day on them and they always work. The keyboard was working under Win7 and with Ubuntu 11.04 (I tested it back in april, 2011), I'm not able to test it with Windows again because I'm not using it in any of my computers... the truth is that I couldn't get to use it for a while, but I stored it in it's box...maybe the air had too much moisture... I don't know.... I tested the keyboard with other cables and got no luck either.... Maybe it's broken?.... That would be so sad, I only played it like 3 or 4 times....

edit - sorry, just read that you tried the midisport-firmware package. I would see if a windows machine will run it. If you have a key lying around, run a virtualbox vm and use the usb pass-through capability of the oracle plug-in. Or ... just windows on a machine, depending on what you're comfortable with.

I'll try to do that as soon as I can, although I think it won't work because my kernel doesn't seem to recognize the device, therefore, it shouldn't appear in virtualbox...

Thanks a lot for your answers!. I'll keep you informed
