Hi Casey: Today Casey you're the expert. Tell me what Tascam US-122 lets one do as I run lucid low latency kxstudio 10.04.02 but I admit I don't know what is done with US-122. maybe I possess it but don't knowingly use it. Glad my incidental recommendation helped. will listen up for a lesson from you.

It is now up and running, and I am more than hesitant to tell you all how I got it up and running, but I'll humiliate myself for the betterment of the distro: As I mentioned, I had followed literally every step-by-step command-line I could find to get this beast to work, to no avail (days and days and days of work for this noob). One of the many informative replies off this mail list was from Kenneth Koym. He suggested I simply start with uninstalling the alsa firmware through Synaptic and simply reinstall them. I can't believe it, but even though I had them installed, I went ahead with this all-to-easy test, and sure enough, I unplug my US-122 and plug it in after the synaptic reinstall of the 3 alsa packages, and KAZOOM... green lights flashing on my US-122!!! Unbelievable. Yes, I feel ridiculously dim, but who would have known it could have been so simple, after all that time in terminal! Lol! Go ahead now, insult the noob... Lol. Thank you all though for your patience and kindness.
