Re: [Alsa-user] missing input volume controls in MAYA44 USB
Today I discovered something interesting. I wondered if the vendor:product id that appears in lsusb may be wrong and makes fail the Alsa or USB system to identified the device properly. Let me explain better: Apparently the ESI Maya-44 USB must have worked in the past, it is a fairly old and popular soundcard. What if the device is correctly identified some years ago because I had a correct ID, but later the manufacturer changed the ID, leaving the device as unknown or configured as generic. So I began to search the list of IDs in /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids to find the manufacturer ESI and I not find it. Then, if I search for MAYA and I find this: 0a92 EGO Systems, Inc. 0011 SYS Waveterminal U2A 0021 GIGAPort 0031 GIGAPortAG 0053 Audiotrak Optoplay 0061 U24 Waveterminal 0071 MAYA EX7 0091 Maya 44 00b1 MAYA EX5 1000 MIDI Mate 1010 Romi / O 1020 M4U 1030 M8U 1090 KeyControl49 10A0 KeyControl25 If I search EGO Systems, Inc. without quotes in Google, the first result is www.ego-systems.com and second www.esi-audio.com! All devices listed in the usb.ids file as EGO Systems vendor are products that you can find on the ESI website, in the section product or product archive (http://www.esi-audio.com/products/archive /). In my case, my sound card appears as: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2573: 0008 It is possible to rename the USB ID to be identified as 0a92:0091 and test if it works properly?

Re: [Alsa-user] Could Alsa cause a hard crash?
This wasn't it at all -- Update 2015-05-14 It was still crashing but less with the moving to pulse audio. Because I never had problems before adding my new disk I decided to figure out what all changed I added a disk designed for video recording. (smart tools say it is working good) (doubt this is causing anything but it could be a faulty disk that isn't reporting) I changed the case. I got a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO for easier access to my disks. (highly doubt this is causing anything) I had to re-install from a failed attempt to re-size partitions and raid it. (smart shows these disks to be OK) These two disks I had been using all along with no issues. It is now a raided system. (raiding might be I don't know) My desktop changed from XFCE4 to Gnome 3.14. (Suspecting this) I had always used x11vnc and mythtv frontend and never had the issue before adding my new disk. Today I tried installing XFCE4 and had no problems so far under XFCE4 with it. One good night doesn't prove anything but I think I might be onto something. I fast forwarded ad rewound a lot. Something about Gnome 3.14 and MythTV Frontend I think are causing my system to crash. Alsa has nothing to do with my problem at all. I was not able to crash it from the command line. Thank you all for giving me ways to test all this.

I had previously had the output sound device set directly as my HDMI on my Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio I remembered in the past having issues with pulse audio and any other program fighting over the sound card. So I changed Mythtv's output to use pulseaudio in the hopes that it would work with pulseaudio instead of fighting it. This seems to have helped. I have not had a crash since. But the underlying problem worries me. Should fighting for sound card resources crash the computer? No. The crashes are either a hardware problem, or a bug in one of the drivers used. What exactly do you mean with hard crashing?

[Alsa-user] USB Audio Input Controls / Level - Functionality Improvement
Hi, I am using the ALSA snd_usb_audio kernel driver with my Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6. All Audio input levels are low and cannot be seperated from within pulseaudio, which are all mapped into one. No ALSA mixer controls exist for the input channels. This is in relation to the previous poster. I have a studio microphone on my desk to use with my experimental microwave radio card. I also would like to do some ELF monitoring this summer to listen for lightning whistlers and other interesting natural emissions. I would also like to have another input channel record my garden in the ultrasonic range, for bird, bat, cricket, and mouse sounds. This is not possible at this time because of these issues. Any help with the driver would be excellent.
