Soundcard not detected (Xonar DG)

[iaberis]

Well, I just bought this card and the system isn't detecting it... Probably it's not supported yet...

Please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo.

[iaberis (iaberis)]

Sorry, ignore the previous file... This is the correct one!

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Interesting, I don't see anything about snd-oxygen. What happens when you load it manually? Does /proc/asound/version indicate that you're using the ppa daily build of the sound drivers?

[iaberis (iaberis)]

/proc/asound/version gives me this:
"Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
Compiled on Dec 3 2010 for kernel 2.6.35-23-generic (SMP)."

[iaberis (iaberis)]

At this point I should probably give you my PC composition if needed:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.21 GHz │ RAM: 4GB │ Mainboard: MSI K9N NEO | Graphics Card: ASUS EAH5450 │Sound Card: ASUS Xonar DG

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

What happens when you attempt to load the module? Can you also try physically swapping slots on the mainboard?

[iaberis (iaberis)]

Ehm, how can I load the module manually? I'm relatively new in Ubuntu
I can try a different PCI slot

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

$ sudo modprobe snd-oxygen

[iaberis (iaberis)]

Well, it doesn't do anything!

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

It won't appear to do anything, but can you verify that the driver didn't
detect and initialize the hardware? See `dmesg`.

Done, changed PCI slot, I loaded the module again and wrote the dmesg command, but it gave me this "driver loaded but no devices found"
Here's the whole output

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Ah, it looks like you need to wait til Clemens's latest work from alsa-kernel.git is merged into sound-2.6.git master. Currently that code isn't being built (because it doesn't exist) in the daily alsa-driver builds.

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

This is fixed in Ubuntu >= 11.04
