Install & configure lirc with an audigy platinum

Hello all the community,

Actually I try to configure lirc to manage my remote.
I'm using an audigy platinum 2zs pro, with an rm-1500 remote.

It worked when I was on debian, I just follow this : http://alexandre.touret.free.fr/dotclea … tinium-pro [fr]

But actually I can't locate the problem, I first installed with pacman and now this the source, using the livedrive_midi driver in the configure.
After configure, make & make install I did :

$ echo -e '\360\000\040\041\141\000\000\000\177\000\367' > /dev/snd/midiC0D1
# /usr/local/sbin/lircd -d /dev/snd/midiC0D1 -H livedrive_midi
$ irw

Irw work but when I push some buttons, nothing append.

In the log (var/log/lircd) :
May 10 05:43:15 mars lircd: lircd(livedrive_midi) ready
May 10 05:43:18 mars lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
May 10 05:43:27 mars lircd: removed client

I read, that a led is supposed to turn on when the hub is ready.
I'm a little bit lost because everything seems to be correct.

Thx for help.

i don't know if it is related but arch doesn't use /usr/local only /usr, you might want to try switching to that...

Yes when you compile from the source, binary are in the /usr/local.

In fact I just solved the problem, but I can't explain how. I tried to install lirc with a live cd of kubuntu, and it works, the led of the hub started lighting, after I come back to arch and it works again without any changes.

A little miracle
