Sound problems with Xonar DG
Hello, I've installed a custom kernel (3.18.1) with the ck patch and support for my hardware (including snd_oxygen for my sound card) but I'm not getting any sound output. I've tried running alsamixer, it fails with: ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so cannot open mixer: No such device or address I'd previously tried using Pulseaudio to fix what I presume was a completely different problem, but have since removed it. Alsamixer will run as root (my user is in the audio group, however), and when I turn on the Analog Input Monitor I can hear the microphone. So, I'm presuming the sound card is working, I just can't get it to output normally. What would be the problem? Is it worth trying to get Pulse to work? How can I fix that Pulse-related error message if it isn't? lsmod shows that snd_oxygen is in fact installed. lspci | grep Audio says the Oxygen card is found. Thanks, Joe
Hello, I apologize. I just figured out the Pulse problem. I had an old .asoundrc from when I was trying to configure Pulse. The old problem remains, however. I can now launch alsamixer from my normal user, but I'm not getting sound from desktop applications Joe From: jschilli1@live.com To: crux@lists.crux.nu Subject: Sound problems with Xonar DG Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 19:26:45 -0600 Hello, I've installed a custom kernel (3.18.1) with the ck patch and support for my hardware (including snd_oxygen for my sound card) but I'm not getting any sound output.

All that stuff is heavily reliant upon dbus, authenticated sessions, policykit and console kit. If it works as root, and not as a normal user, then you should check through those things.

And it gets even a little more nutty, if you have let gtk3 into your mix.

What's the output of amixer and aplay -l (they are in alsa-utils port)? According to this http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-oxygen Xonar DG does not have hardware volume control, so you should create sofware Master control using .asoundrc or use Pulseaudio. This guy managed to make it work with ALSA with a few config files, so you might want to check it out. http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,128898.msg1086161.html#msg108... Good luck. Pedja
aplay -l output: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices *** card 1: DG [Xonar DG], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: DG [Xonar DG], device 1: Digital [Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 amixer gives no output. It worked fine (without configuration) on Arch. Just had to unmute it.
