Logitech Wireless Music System
I’m using the Logitech Wireless Music System for about 3 weeks now and I must say, that I’m very happy with it. Initially I ran against a little obstacle. I saw this message in /var/log/messages:
Feb 26 18:14:20 raver ALSA alsa-driver/usb/usbaudio.c:864: \
cannot submit datapipe for urb 0, error -38: enable \
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO to play through a hub
I couldn’t convince the Music System to play. I tried it on other Linux systems and I had no problems on these.
I should have read the message more closely and should have thought about it a bit more. At home I’ve installed a cardreader in a slot for 5″ devices, which provides additional USB connectivity. This device apparently acts as a USB hub, which in turn leads to the above error message. Once I plugged the Logitech Wireless Music System directly into a motherboard USB connector it worked flawlessly.
In particular the combination of Amarok as music player and lineakd, which I’m using to operate the various multimedia key of my keyboard and the Wireless Music System just work beautifully together. The four buttons on the Wireless Music System perfectly map to the Halt-Pause/Resume-Skip Forward-Skip Backward buttons of the music player.
I’ve walked through the house and checked the places, where I might by using the device and found, that it worked everywhere. Personally therefore I can recommend the Logitech Wireless Music System very much.
