Raymond - thanks - not sure how to define a pulseaudio.conf file, how to name it, where it is referenced. Will have to go do some research. Do you have any idea why the fix to USB-Audio.conf is not working? The card name from aplay-l is definitely "Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." yet simply adding "Xonar

What needs to be done to unexpire this? I have exactly the same problem. Like the OP I have confirmed that aplay plays fine to the iec958 device but pulseaudio seems to alias it's iec958 oputput to analog. I also have a colleague with the same card so this bug affects at least 3 of us. My card is
