Gigabeat dock is not recognized by winxp

<< < (3/5) > >>

mr.pi:
hello again,

still the usb cable is working (gigabeat->cable->usb-port) but no cradle support for me. the image you can see is in german and says "unknown device". is there a special driver for the dock?



if i plug in the cradle something is recognized but then device manager says unknown device.

solutions?

thanks in advance says

mr. pi

markun:
Is your "USB-Massenspeichergeraet" something else than the Gigabeat?

What is the position of the USB/line-out switch on the cradle? It should be set to USB for USB mode.

mr.pi:
hi markun,

the switch is set to usb and the device came up i pluged in the dock with the gigabeat in

You are right, the dock has a 4 port USB hub inside.

Is the hub supported now (r15390)? Is there a thread, where this is disussed? I'd love to use that USB - connector on the side of the cradle...

scharkalvin:
Since the pinout for the Gigabeat docking connector shows separate wires for the usb 2.0 connection and the line out it does not make sense to me why the dock has a switch on it to select between the two functions.  The fact that the dock is a hub might factor into this, but note that the dock has TWO usb connectors though one is a 1.1 master (and the docking connector does have two usb interfaces one master 1.1 and one slave 2.0) and the other a 2.0 slave.  Rockbox doesn't use the 1.1 master which I gather was intended to enable digital camera to gigabeat transfers.

I've had half an idea to open up my dock and maybe re-wire it so that the internal hub isn't used and the usb "B" connector goes direct to the dock 2.0 lines,  the charger input goes to the dock power lines, and the line out goes to the 1/8" phono jack.  Would this allow use of all connections at the same time?

Perhaps the reason for the line out / usb switch was to allow having all the connections plugged at the same time, but to disconnect the usb from the gigabeat because the unit won't play while plugged into the usb connection?  In this case the above surgery might not be needed (but then what's the internal hub for?)
