This should have happened automatically, so probably there is some problem with your ExpressCard port. Do the ExpressCard controller and the sound card show up in the output of "lspci"?

Re: [Alsa-user] starters help (help!)
There are two levels to make a module available: First, the module needs to be compiled for your kernel and available in (usually, IME) /lib/modules... The distributions I have worked with put all modules they compile in the kernel packages. Well, Tiny Core has some modules in separate packages. I don't know how Mint packages modules. (I'm assuming I remember correctly that you're using Mint.) It might be possible your kernel does not have that module compiled. If the module isn't compiled for your kernel, that's beyond my ability to instruct for a distribution I have not used. Second, the module needs to be loaded into the running kernel. That is done by the modprobe command. HTH Robert > Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2015 20:41:08 +0200 > From: "F. Dols" > To: "Robert M.

Run "arecord -l". There should be a separate device for the digital input, which should be available as "hw:D2,1". You have to pretend to record two channels, and the resulting file will not contain PCM audio but compressed data. I don't know you can decode it; probably with ffmpeg.

That depends on whether ExpressCard and DJx support has been enabled in Mint. Check if "modprobe snd-indigodjx" works. If it does, your card should show up in /proc/asound/cards and in the output of "aplay -l". (However, the driver should have been loaded automatically.) Do you know if other ExpressCard devices work with your machine? Regards, Clemens -- ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
