Hi Dave, managed to fix y ALSA driver and have internal sound back. Ubuntu will recognise my terratec card out of the box and is listed as such using lsusb:

Thinking that the module 'snd_usb_6fire' needs to be inserted into my kernel. The modprobe command returns this error though: insmod /lib/modules/3.5.0-23-generic/extra/snd-usb-6fire.ko FATAL: Error inserting snd_usb_6fire (/lib/modules/3.5.0-23-generic/extra/snd-usb-6fire.ko): Invalid argument Any ideas?! http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-6fire -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1112688 Title: PCI/internal sound card not detected Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I recently tried to get an external usb sound card (Terratec DMX 6 fire USB) working by installing the ALSA driver for this. I started to follow the instructions here: http://www.alsa- project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-6fire Got as far as the part where it said to insert modules as follows: modprobe snd-usb-6fire ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss Kept getting errors saying the three oss modules weren't found and basically stopped at this point. I thentried to play back some mp3s as usual - no sound. It looks like the system is recognising the soundcard as a pci device, but the alsa is not recognising anything. My sounds settings show only a 'dummy device'. Not entirely sure what I've done, and tried reverting to Ubuntu core audio modules using: sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic But get the message: "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-ubuntu-modules-3.5.0-23-generic" Any ideas what to do now? Thanks in advance... Marty p.s.
