534d:6021 MacroSilicon VGA Display Adapter

Lachu · April 14, 2021, 6:28pm

I have bought cheap usb-to-vga adapter (GPU). It didn’t work. It seems problem is similar to: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=257887 , because my audio output was redirect to this device after connect, but there’s no three audio device in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/snd-usb-audio. I have also external sound card and I think nodes for this device are listed.


ls /sys/bus/usb/drivers/snd-usb-audio
1-3:1.11-3:1.2  bind  module  new_id  remove_id  uevent  unbind

I think 1-3:1.1 and 1-3:1.2 are ids connected to my external sound card.

What could be problem? My monitor shown check signal cable. I test this cable with my hdmi-to-vga hub and it worked with the same monitor.
When connected this GPU to my computer, new cdrom was found with Windows drivers, but it is not visible in rfkill.

EDIT2: I reminder in place of rfkill should I use usb_modeswitch, but syntax and usage of this command was changed since few years.

You have to provide


lsusb
lspci

It is impossible to output sound via VGA, you need HDMI or DP. Use your external sound card or another device instead.

Any help? I found that kernel attach this device to sound subsystem, but it is VGA from USB adapter, so there is no sound support. I found, I should unbind device from usb sound subsystem and bind it to correct driver, but when attempting to bind (last step), system told there is no such device.

It still do not worked. It is USB-VGA external GPU. I do not known, why I should apply suggestions from the section “[/FONT]Other hints for using the MS2109”.
