I am unable to use the INPUT ports on my ASUS Xonar DG sound card. ALSA doesn't even show them as an option in applications such as Audacity.

[witakr]

I have an Asus Xonar DG soundcard. As far as I can tell it only has inputs for 3.5mm jacks. I try to use said input jacks to record audio with Audacity but the inputs are not an avaialble option in Audacity. I use PulseAudio to adjuse the input settings and when I select the sound card's driver there is no meter indicating it is receiving an audio signal.
