after uploading a certain\nfirmware a reenumeration takes place and a USB Audio Class (UAC) device\nbecomes available.\n\nkinect-audio-setup provides tools to download the firmware off the net\nat installation time —since the firmware is not redistributable—, and it\nsets up udev rules to call the firmware loader when the device is\nplugged in to finally get the USB Audio Class device.\n\nNote that for all the magic to happen automatically pulseaudio \u003e= 1.0 is\nneeded, as it contains the kinect-audio.conf profile which fixes audio\ndevice detection:\n  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39664\n\nkinect-audio-setup provides:\n  - kinect_fetch_fw which downloads and extracts the firmware from the\n    Microsoft Kinect SDK;\n  - kinect_upload_fw which loads the firmware to the generic USB device\n    in order to get the USB Audio Class device to show up;\n  - udev rules to call kinect_upload_fw when the device is plugged in.\n\n\nTo install kinect-audio-setup from the source distribution follow the\nsteps below with superuser rights:\n\nInstall kinect_upload_fw first:\n\n  # make install\n\nit will be copied to /usr/local/sbin by default, assign the PREFIX\nvariable on the command line to install it to another location.\n\nThen install the udev rules to automate the firmware loading:\n\n  # make install_udev_rules \\\n    FIRMWARE_PATH=/lib/firmware/kinect/UACFirmware \\\n    LOADER_PATH=/usr/local/sbin/kinect_upload_fw\n\nThen run the firmware fetcher script (remember this is only needed\nonce):\n\n  # ./kinect_fetch_fw /lib/firmware/kinect\n  # udevadm control --reload-rules\n\n\nThe UAC firmware is downloaded from the Microsoft Kinect SDK at\nhttp://www.kinectforwindows.org, the license of the SDK can be found at\nhttp://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/legal/kinectsdk-tou_noncommercial.htm\n\n=== Acknowledgements\n\nA special thanks goes to Steven Toth from http://kernellabs.com, who\nkindly sponsored a Kinect to Antonio Ospite and made kinect-audio-setup\npossible in its current form.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdev-0x7c6%2Fkinect-audio-setup","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdev-0x7c6%2Fkinect-audio-setup","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdev-0x7c6%2Fkinect-audio-setup/lists"}
