creative usb IR receiver and LIRC

jollyjoice · 09-05-2006, 12:08 PM

Recently got an audigy 4, came with a remote and USB IR receiver, after much fiddling I've reached a dead end.

I've compiled using the creative driver, with no luck, I then stumbled across using the dvico driver, which seemed to have had more luck. (in that it seemed to have started etc.) However I can't get any output from IRW, it just sits there.
With the creative driver it just exits.
Mode2 doesn't work with either.

The device sits at /dev/usb/hiddev0, and cat /dev/usb/hiddev0 does give output, not that it makes any sense to me, when I press buttons.

dmesg identifies the device as "USB HID v1.00 Device [Philips Electronics - RCS Singapore Creative USB IR Receiver]"

Any pointers welcome, I can provide more info if needed...

Me too. Did you ever find a solution?

I get this in my dmesg:

Code:

usbcore: registered new driver hiddev

I too have this card and would love to know how to get the remote working. I found this.

I hope it helps:

Got it working last week. It required 2-3 evenings of playing with compiler and documentation

For now it is completly standalone, and i'm to lazy to port it a s a proper lirc driver/daemon.
