Re: [SOLVED] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

Maybe, but I don't think the default setting (front panel) is a sane one. Not that linux is famous of sane default but still...
Another aspect is the desktop environment. I'm pretty sure Gnome Shell users are not expected to dive into alsa configuration.

I'm not going to file any bug reports though, as you recommended. I'm just going to use my account at askubuntu.com to maybe direct the posters of the unanswered DGX-related questions.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

Screenshots uploaded.

An additional question:
The ASUS control panel for Windows provides headphone impedance selection. From what I saw the setting is not available for Xonar DGX but STX has this setting

I've seen it in Ubuntu 14.04. It was removed for some reason. Probably kernel side.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

Thanks, I also have the combination of NVidia HDMI and Xonar DGX, and the solution above worked for me.

I have:

- disabled hdmi modules (sda_hda_intel, sda_hda_codec_hdmi)
- changed Analog Output to Multichannel

... and scared the hell out of everybody having all the volumes on max.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

Sorry for refreshing, maybe somebody found it important

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-modprobe.conf

snd_oxygen index=0

and your sound cards wont be swapped places each time you boot. I have DGX, the same like DG but for PCIE slot. The only thing is to remember to made switch in alsamixer from headphones to multichannel. I don't have blacklisted hdmi and so on, i use 3 cards:

-Asus
-nvidia HDMI
-intel HDA

and they all work.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I would like to add to the alsamixer solution mentioned by bbarcher. I was able to get sound by this method, but it wouldn't persist after a reboot. Turns out that running

sudo alsactl store

saves the current state of alsamixer to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state - now my sound works correctly.

EDIT:
>Something< has worked! I'm not sure what was it.
1. Blacklisting alone didn't help.
2. I fired up alsamixer.
3. And followed as the screenshots show http://1drv.ms/1DGxDHe
Changing 'Analog Output' from 'Headphones FP' to either 'Headphones' or 'Multichannel' made sound work!

It all points to the default selection of audio output to front panel headphones. This should not happen.

Don't necrobump. Especially solved threads (and with a solution that is documented on the wiki): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … bumping.22
