[Solved] USB Sound Card /Hi-Fi not visible

gav989 · 2015-12-04 00:01:00

Hi,

I have just bought a Cambridge Audio One Hi-Fi that is able to act as a USB sound card. I am having difficulty finding it on my system.

the user manual says:

Use with Linux
For most distributions of Linux with the One using the USB Audio 1.0, the One will
work with the native Audio 1.0 driver and accept audio up to 24-bit/96kHz.
For this case because Linux distributions vary according to their creators choice
of software components including drivers it is not possible to guarantee operation
and Audio drivers may need to be loaded.
'Class drivers' as they are called for generic support of Audio Class 1.0 devices may
be available from the Linux community, we do not supply these.

Can anyone tell me how to load these drivers or whether there's something else I need to do?

Potentially useful outputs:

ALC889 ain't that bad

Check what appears in dmesg when you connect this thing.

Sorry for delay in response, here is the dmesg output when plugging it in:

Also, I just plugged it into my raspberry pi and it registered it fine in dmseg

I think I've seen similar problem on some Intel system just few days ago, search the first few pages of this subforum for topics involving USB. IIRC, IOMMU was involved.

Or it could be just another mundane power issue, so try the usual voodoo magic like different ports, powered hub, USB2<->UBS3.

gav989 · 2015-12-16 23:05:49

Is this the one you mean? I am also using a gigabyte motherboard so this looks promising, will have a go tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply!

gav989 · 2015-12-20 14:10:58

I am an idiot. The USB port I thought was USB 3 was not USB 3. The USB 3 ports work fine. I am an idiot.

Thanks for the replies.
