[SOLVED] Xonar DGX

When the 3.14 kernel came out my sound stop working so I've been sticking to the 3.10 LTS release. Now that 3.14 is the LTS release, my audio is no longer working again. I am using the ASUS Xonar DGX sound card after my motherboard's sound card broke. I have tried both ALSA and PulseAudio and every kernel release up to the current 3.15-6 to no avail. Both the system and ALSA detect the sound card so I compiled my own kernel to make sure the module is enable which also did not work. Would this mean I have to stick to 3.13 forever (or until I get a new desktop)?

As far as I recall, CMI8788 Oxygen uses snd-oxygen, should this have changed correct the systool command.

[SOLVED] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

I've got no sound so I've looked into journalctl and there were some bluez and pulseaudio related erros. So i.a.w. this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155714 I did `systemctl enable bluetooth.service`. No more errors but still no sound.
Other things I did:
- unplug/plug headphones
- check whether anything is muted in alsamixer and the gnome sound applet (note: nothing is greyed-out, microphone picks up signals)
snd_oxygen i.e. ASUS XONAR is the sound card I would like to use and I hook my headphones to.

Asus Xonar DGX no rear sound / mic. Front panel sound/mic ok. [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
I have a ASUS Xonar DGX PCI-E GX2.5 sound card since my onboard audio crapped out on my motherboard. I just did a first time install on my desktop and the rear portion of my card refuses to work. If I connect up my speakers to my analog output in the back I don't have any options in my sound manager for the analog output to just be a 2.0 system. I get 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1. All of which do not work obviously. Also my microphone doesn't work plugged into the actual card. If I plug them into the front panel audio, both the microphone and headphone out work. I did some searching, and it seems like a likely cause has something to do with amixer being multichannel. I tried several commands but wasn't successful in getting the audio to work through the back. Any help would be useful, I'm still trying to learn a lot about Arch while doing all this. Thanks in advance!
Solution. Using Alsamixer in terminal and selecting the analog out as stereo headphones, instead of stereo headphones (fp).

Search for vid and pid combination, ergo 13f6:8788 in your case. This should be one of the search terms, vid and pid could be also separated, other search terms could include oxygen, sonar, dgx and so on. Simple google search should turn something up.
Edit: The point is to locate a thread/post where the support for this card was implemented/talked about. It could provide some further insight.
The simplest approach would be to download linux-rt sources from aur with yaourt, modify PKGBUILD, compile and then install.
yaourt -G linux-rt
cd linux-rt
Copy this into PKGBUILD replacing the original:

Finally run makepkg, should there be errors try removing the src dir first 'yes|rm -r src', then run makepkg again. Should there still be an error post here.
As for the patch, should there be no real difference there is also MODEL_XONAR_DG, might be worth trying out.

No pulseaudio profiles for digital audio - Asus Xonar DGX

Hi all,
I am unable to usa the digital sound ports of my Asus Xonar DGX card with pulseaudio. I see four profiles for analogue audio in pavucontrol but none for digital SP/DIF.
ALSA recognizes the hardware:
$ aplay -l

and when using ALSA directly (e.g., by telling smplayer to use alsa device 1.1) digital audio works fine. However, pulseaudio apparently does not find device 1.1, I have only analogue profiles:

Sound card is not detected under Windows 8

Hi there,
I bought an Asus Xonar DGX PCIe soundcard. When inserted it is not detected by the system; it is like it doen not exist.
I have a new Dell Inspiron 660 pc with 3mHz I5 processor, 8Gb memory, 4 extension slots, one full lengthand 3 PCIe, Nvidia Gforce GT640 graphics card (in the full length extension slot). Its running Windows8. The Xonar is inserted in the 3rd slot as the
second is blocked by the vent of the Gforce card.
I loaded the latest driver form Asus and disabled the on-board soundcard in the "Bios" but to no avail.
The first card was returned to the distributor with those problems as they expected it to be defect. Now i got a new one and installed it has the same problem.
Can anybody help me with this one??
Regards Steffen

Hi,
Please try the following:
1. Check if the card can work on other Windows 8 computers.
2. Update chipset driver and BIOS.
As this is a hardware issue, it is also recommended that you contact Asus and Dell for help.
Thanks.

I sucessfully upgrading to Windows 8.1 and everything was functioning after the upgrade. However, after the first time I restarted my system after the upgrade the intergrated soundcard no longer worked.
I attempted to remove and reinstall the RealTek audio driver, downloading the newest 8.1 compatible driver from the Lenovo support site.
The drive refused to installed, either via the executable or by manually installing the driver through a device manager upgrade.
So I attempted to install a stand alone soundcard, to no success.
In device manager this is displayed for both the integrated motherboard audio and the new Asus sound card:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code
52)
If I disable the driver driver signature enforcement, neither audio option works. Instead I get this error in device manager:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing.
(Code 39)"
Attempting to update the driver in device manager, Windows tell me I am on the most up-to-date, recommended driver, yet at the same time refuses to
allow it to function.
Extremely frustrating.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have also attempted to clear out the registry Upper/Lower Filters to no success.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
At that registry key, in the right window, is there, under "Name", either an UpperFilters orLowerFilters value?
If so, for each of the UpperFilters and/or LowerFilters value, what is listed under "Data"?
There could be an improper entry at one of these values which may be causing the problem.

Advice needed: Moving from mac to pc - pc specs.

Hi all,
This is my first post. I have been using FCP on a mac for a few years now but its time for me to upgrade. I want to upgrade to 64bit, and also move away from FCP. I have decided that premier would be best for me, and am trying to figure out what is the best/most suitable pc I can get for my budget.
I am considering the following Hp Pavilion pc. I've always used mac but can't afford a new one, and feel a little out of my depth when it comes to pcs. Any advice/reccomendations would be appreciated. The specs for the Hp Pavilion are below.

Hi, Thank you for your response.
I am actually based in the UK (might be on the wrong forum?) - but I had a look at a custom built site here.
The following are specs that I can afford. I could go a little higher too. Do you think these are suitable? If not what should I change?
Thank you very much in advance. (The case is InWin Centinal Buc Black Gaming Case.)

Background sound is too loud

my macbook pro, early 20011, the background sound is too loud with or without headphones, i cannot hear the speech well. any ideas?

Quote from: kyton72 on 10-March-15, 23:57:24
I also found the mic input poor. End result was to disable onboard and put my Xonar DGX back in. Also Xonar volume @ 50% seems to bee the same as the Realtek 100% volume.
I'll be perfectly honest with you.....
On both my laptop (MSI GT70) and my desktop (MSI Z97 SLI) I have an Asus Xonar based sound card....it's just flat out better.
Personally, I don't care for the included software with the on-board sound solutions (software based creative crap is...crap...), and the sound that it makes for digital connections (COAX/optical) really isn't as good.
But again, that's just my opinion. I believe that the on-board sound should work though, and it might actually be a problem with the board. I would say at the very least, contact MSI and maybe consider an RMA to see if you can get it resolved, just so you have a fully working board to start with.

Skype freezes every about 10 seconds.

Does anybody knows a fix? It's mostly happen when I'm in call with a friend or interacting with skype(chats and overlay) and Skype will not be responsive every few seconds and my voice will cut off whenever I'm speaking and sometimes disconnects , then reconnects the call after its freezes.
I really appreciate if you guys can help.

When I start recording, for the first 5 bars or so, everything is fine and I get a very full and powerfull sound. But around ca. the start of the 5th bar the recording quality decreases drastically, and I get less input even when I keep playing at the same level. Also the level of the low and high tones seem to decrease regarding the mid tones. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks!

I also found the mic input poor. End result was to disable onboard and put my Xonar DGX back in. Also Xonar volume @ 50% seems to bee the same as the Realtek 100% volume.
I'll be perfectly honest with you.....
On both my laptop (MSI GT70) and my desktop (MSI Z97 SLI) I have an Asus Xonar based sound card....it's just flat out better.
Personally, I don't care for the included software with the on-board sound solutions (software based creative crap is...crap...), and the sound that it makes for digital connections (COAX/optical) really isn't as good.
But again, that's just my opinion. I believe that the on-board sound should work though, and it might actually be a problem with the board. I would say at the very least, contact MSI and maybe consider an RMA to see if you can get it resolved, just so you have a fully working board to start with.

Z77-A GD65 A2 Hang

Hi,
Randomly get this A2 hang so my PC cannot POST. It is completely random, sometimes it will boot fine with my SSD in in but more often than not it won't boot. Sometimes it won't boot even without any SATA devices connected whatsoever. I have looked all over the internet for this and all the solutions don't apply to me i.e. my PSU is fine, my SSD works fine (I'm typing this on the bad PC) I don't have any dodgy USB things plugged in that are new... it just started happening and has now got to the point where sometimes it will only let me get to the BIOS after I reset the CMOS.
Considering flashing my SSD and BIOS firmware but I'm worried that the A2 issue will interfere with it since when I get A2 I can't do ANYTHING.
Thanks for any help!

Full info was in another topic but anyway, here:
Steps I have tried:
Disconnected HDD. SATA Devices Connected: SSD, DVD Drive. No Hang
Plugged HDD back in. SDC: HDD, SSD, DVD Drive. A2 Hang
Cycled SATA ports (SSD to Port 2, HDD to port 4). SDC: HDD, SSD, DVD Drive. A2 Hang.
Disconnected HDD again. SDC: SSD, DVD Drive. No Hang
Used a different SATA cable on HDD that I borrowed from the DVD Drive. SDC: HDD, SSD. A2 Hang.
Convinced it was the HDD (oldest component I have anyway) unplugged it, SDC: SSD, DVD Drive. A2 Hang
So now with HDD removed it doesn't work. Removed DVD Drive, too. SDC: SSD. A2 Hang.
Disconnected ALL SATA devices. A2 Hang
Reset the CMOS (It had definitely reset). SDC: None. No Hang
Re-connected SSD. A2 Hang
Reset CMOS. Plugged SSD in before booting. No Hang. SSD detected in BIOS. After checking BIOS settings, accidentally click 'boot override' which launches the SSD and Windows Startup Repair. It's useless anyway.
Reboot. SDC: SSD. A2 Hang
Wiggled SATA cables. Literally, just wiggled them. SDC: SSD. No Hang
This morning, boot. SDC: SSD. A2 Hang.
Another wiggle or something. SDC: SSD, possibly DVD Drive. No Hang
Hardware:
Main Board: Z77A GD-65

IS that all good?

[SOLVED] No sound in Flash Plugins - Xonar D2X

There is no sound at all when I play any flash content, but my sound works for other applications no problem.
I'm running Google Chrome's built-in flash plugin
I'm running Pulse Audio with ALSA. I have installed pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa
I'm using Google Chrome's stable version from the AUR: google-chrome
My system is 64-bit
The Pulse Audio server is running fine
My sound card is an Asus Xonar D2X
I have the following kernel modules loaded that are associated with sound:
lsmod output

I have tried using the flash plugin in the official repositories: flashplugin .
There was no change.
I am out of ideas to attempt, what can I do to fix it?

Okay, my sound now magically works for flash. I initially had not restarted my pc after installing the above mentioned pulseaudio packages. I didn't think it necessary, not even sure if it is the restart that fixed it, but problem solved.
Though i did change my .asound.rc from
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
to
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
Not sure if that did anything

[SOLVED] No Sound - ALSA. Soundcard detected however

The new version of Alsa (1.0.20) supports my new sound card- the Asus Xonar Essence STX. I installed this version like it says on the wiki page http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … e-virtuoso (compiled from source)
I have no sound now. In alsamixer my Master channel is unmuted and raised but i cant hear anything (not in mplayer, not with aplay... nothing). Here are some outputs that might help you help me

What's line jac? (or jack)? and how did you do that?
Nvm I didnt realize that I could switch on of the options to "Headphones". Solved!

Broke my sound, can't find soundcard now? [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with my sound and it's escalated to the level where I'm not sure if my soundcard is even detected.
The story so far: A few months ago I invested in a Xonar DX sound card and some days ago tried to make it work in an existing Arch installation. I wasn't sure precisely what to do, so I followed the installation guide here (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … e-virtuoso) to the letter and, hey, it worked so I was happy. I hadn't uninstalled my previous ALSA config or anything like that though, just wanted to get it working really.
Yesterday, I assume after the latest kernel update, the DX stopped working but my integrated Realtek still worked. Today I tried fixing it by first following those steps again, but that resulted in no sound card working. So I uninstalled everything ('make uninstall' in the src folders for the custom installed drivers, 'pacman -Rd' for alsa-lib, alsa-utils and alsa-oss, 'd' so I woulnd't have to uninstall every library depending on ALSA) and started from the beginning. Now I can't even get my integrated card working again.
lsmod|grep '^snd'
outputs nothing.
/dev/snd/
doesn't exist.
modprobe snd-virtuoso
gives "No such file or directory"
So, what should I do next? Will be grateful for any help I can get.
Thanks!

Nevermind, solved it by reinstalling the kernel and even got my new sound card to work without compiling custom drivers Just by installing asoundconf from AUR and configuring it to prefer my DX instead of the integrated. Thinking about updating the wiki on this front, since the ALSA article right now doesn't mention anything about multiple sound cards.
Is there any other easy way to select sound card?

[SOLVED] alsa 1.0.23

Hello,
First time arch user, and so far its going pretty well. Currently I have no sound, but am looking to upgrade ALSA to version 1.0.23 which came out on 4/16/2010. I am trying to use pacman, but it only finds 1.0.22-2. Do I need to wait a bit before the repositories are updated? Or am I looking in the wrong spot? I'm aware I can compile it from source, but I'm not very comfortable with doing this yet.
Thanks

Ok, l have a Xonar DS in the mail, which alsa 1.0.23 adds support for. I have looked at ABS, but wasn't sure what to do about changing the PKGBUILD to reflect that I wanted version 1.0.23. Do I simply just change the version number, or is there more to it than that? The wiki doesnt really go into explaining that part.
the wiki im looking at is:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System
Try upping the pkgver and see if it compiles. If it doesn't you need to do some problem-solving based on the errors generated.
