Making M-Audio Oxygen 8 (Mini-Keyboard) run under Linux
Hi...
Can anyone help me to get my M-Audio Oxygen 8 Keyboard running under Linux?
I'm using AVLinux4, which is based on Debian. The "midisport-firmware" is readily installed, but my keyboard doesn't seem to be visible in any application.

I've already found the solution. Adding usb-filesystem in /etc/fstab as described in the AVLinux manual does the job. Sorry for premature asking.

Hello om3, the Oxygen 8 is a class compliant device, no need to load firmware, no need to modify fstab, just plug it in, make the connections in QjackCtl and you should be good to go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBEzMC35gt8

Re: Making M-Audio Oxygen 8 (Mini-Keyboard) run under Linux
Hello!
I got an old Oxygen8 as a present from a friend who figured he didn't use it in years.
When I plug it in, it doesn't show up neither in qjackctl nor in kmidimon... Any suggestions? Maybe the keyboard is setup in a strange way?

Verify life in some windows computer.
A few linux things, in qjackctl, set Periods /Buffer =3 and
Midi Driver = none. Don't use a usb hub, use a power supply if there
is a connector for one. Use 5 pin midi ports, or usb to connect, but
not both. Unplug all other usb devices, and try each port after a new boot.
Try alternate linux versions using live CD/dvd or usb stick or hard-disk installs.

Glad to hear it. I should have known to suggest that as I had to install it for my M-Audio Uno MIDI interface, but it was actually mentioned in the first post of this thread.osterchrisi wrote:Thanks for your suggestions. Actually got it to work by simply installing packge midisport-firmware...
I've created yet another page on the wiki that may help others

Re: Making M-Audio Oxygen 8 (Mini-Keyboard) run under Linux
nice.
pls add "change the ./configure script"

at my gentoo box (no midisport in the overlay, also not in the proaudio overlay) i must compile it by my self.
error:
1.) install udev fxload
2.) Download the firmware, and the firmware loader
Extract the files, and go into the extracted directory
3.) There is a new udevadmin utility called udevadm. The configure script uses udevinfo. You need to change the ./configure script to:
(i must change the ./configure script to:)
4.) Build the firmware loader by doing:
5.) i do not this but maybe for other linux boxes
On a debian squeeze system the usb filesystem isn't enabled by default. To do so edit /etc/fstab, add:
Then do
Reconnect the device physically
