Trying to configure USB soundcard without much luck.

[lazerbeat]

I am trying to get my USB sound card working but I am not having alot of joy. I know it works in Linux as I have used it in previous mint editions and most recently in xubuntu 9.04 (yeah. im a chronic distrohopper).

Going to System tools > soundmixer, then file > options does display my soundcard but selecting it from the dropdown menu doesnt seem to do anything.

Also

Code: Select all

david@trina ~ $ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: UA25 [EDIROL UA-25], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

It appears to be detected

Code: Select all

david@trina ~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xee240000 irq 17
 1 [UA25           ]: USB-Audio - EDIROL UA-25
                      Roland EDIROL UA-25 at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1, full speed

but I am not able to switch the UA25 as the default card or even get a peep out of it.

Code: Select all

david@trina ~ $ asoundconf set-default-card UA25

was that I did previous but this doesn't seem to work, any help would be grealy appreciated.
