Terratec Aureon Dual USB sound card is listed without correct name

[Oliver Gerlich]

Binary package hint: usbutils

In Audio Settings dialog, the external Terratec Aureon Dual USB sound adapter is listed as "0077" or "0077 Analog Stereo" (see attached screenshot). I've already added the device name at linux-usb.org, but as the usb.ids file in Lucid appears to be outdated, here's a patch which sets correct device name in Audio Settings dialog. The device has USB ID 0ccd:0077 .

Output from lsusb:

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

This happens on Ubuntu 10.04 Beta with all updates.

Thank you for your change there, Debian just got 0.87 but it seems it's not fixed there either, do you know which upstream version has the change?

[Oliver Gerlich (ogerlich)]

Sorry, I can only see that current http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids file correctly contains the change (version 2010.05.23). I've added the entry at https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/0ccd/0077 last year (2009-11-24 21:53:50), but maybe it took some time until it was added to the actual usb.ids file.

No idea what would be the matching Debian package version, though, or since which version the http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids file contains this change.

Since 10.04 the sound card is not working any more: there is no sound at all. In 9.10 it was still working. Is this problem related to this bug?

The problem was already confirmed here in a German speaking Ubuntu forum: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/post/2525984/

Sorry, I was wrong. There is just a strange behiviour but not a very serious problem: If you change the "connector" in the "output" tab of the ubunut sound preferences, the sound card is not working any more. You can't hear anything anymore. But there is an easy way to repair it: plug in the USB sound card again and don't touch the "connector"... ;)

it was working for me in 9.10 x64 Alt but not in 10.04 x64 Alt
using 10.04 x64 Desktop Live it works however

[kanub (gwd0fqy02)]

solved it using
$ ubuntu-bug audio

it appears that "speaker volume" was set to 0%, which is hidden in Sound Preferences
=>
1.
$ alsamixer -c1
1b. if not installed =>
$ sudo apt-get install alsamixer
2. pull sound volume up

[kanub (gwd0fqy02)]

this setting is hidden in pavucontrol too!
if i reboot, the "speaker volume" is set to 0% again :/
