Hallo
running
LXPUP 1606203R
on an Acer Aspire e15 ( windows 10)
I can get sound from the internal speakers but not from the connected USB audio interface (Alesis IO2)
Strangely running a daw in WIne does give me audio on the Alesis.
Any pointers, ideas ?
thank you
Martin
ASPIRE E 15 no sound with USB audio interface
Did you look at alsamixer

sometimes sounds cards are mute by default.
if no joy what does the following command return:

Code: Select all
aplay -l ; arecord -l
thanks for the tips but so far no joy
I switched the sound card in alsamixer and in the mplayer preferences to io2. Gnome Mplayer stops the track. If i change mplayer to default I can play the track but I get the laptop sound.
aplayer output is
# aplay -l

This sounds like the 'classic' multiple soundcard problem,
You may be able to select the USB soundcard using Retrovol,
~Right-click on the speacker icon on the panel:
~~Config window - configure app and select soundcard, it has three tabs
~~~Hardware - pick soundcard, ##hw:1## means use soundcard 1 - your case the USB device
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Retrovol
If that doesn't work the multiple sound card wizard might help, see:

ASPIRE e15 sound on USB audio interface
An update : I spent a lot of time trying to rewrite the config file but eventually gave up and reverted to the original config file.
However,when I connected the USB interface directly to the computer -- not thru a usb rack I got the sound. If i remove the interface and then plug it in again, it fails and I have to reboot. But so far so good, it has been ok for the last two weeks.
