When you issue the command sudo aplay -L In the terminal, do you see your card in the list? Regards, Chris Hermansen On Aug 16, 2015 11:17, F.

Perhaps this does help: https://wiki.debian.org/echoaudio Mixxx seems to support jack: http://www.mixxx.org/manual/latest/chapters/configuration.html Consider to use jack for audio productions. Perhaps http://ubuntustudio.org/ is a better distro for a newbie, than Mint is. It has got a user mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users Ubuntu Studio is preconfigured for audio usage. -- ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user

Hi Chris, thanks for the quick reply! No, only the build-in card is seen: But I just plugged in the Indigodjx using a USB connector, since my PC does not have a express slot.

Re: [Alsa-user] starters help (help!)
In another reply, you posted that sudo aplay -L did not show the Indigodjx card. I wonder if the udev rule might be missing, which IIUC could cause the module to not load, which IIUC could cause the card to not be visible. Is the INDIGODJX kernel module loaded? sudo lsmod | grep indigodjx You might unplug the card from USB and then do one of these sudo tail -f /var/log/messages sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog (whichever works on your system) while plugging the card back in to USB. That should tell what udev is doing when the card is plugged in. You might also do something similar to this to see what the kernel says is going on: sudo dmesg | tail -44 This should tell you if you have any udev rules for your card: grep -ri indigodjx /etc/udev /lib/udev That recursive grep would have shown any file in or under those paths that mentioned indigodjx. On my Debian 7 system, it does now return anything. Debian 7 is pretty old, so perhaps too old to have a udev rule for the card. To see if the kernel module can see your card, you might try this: sudo modprobe indigodjx Also, this indicates there's an enable parameter for the module: sudo modinfo indigodjx IME, sound cards normally default to enabled, but perhaps this driver is different. You might need to manually force it to be enabled. HTH Robert Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2015 20:14:10 +0200 From: F.
