I had two Asus Xonar sound cards: a main battlewagon Xonar-STX-II and a standby also ePCI Xonar which apparently uses a usb chip and so lists under lsusb but not lspci. The former one finally crapped out so it's gone in the recyle bin. The transgender USB one lists under Leap-15.5 and TW the same way but no sound works in TW and PAVU control goes into perpetual "Establishing connection to pulse audio. PLease wait." (Pulse is installed to both updated systems). What can I do? ============================================ Leap-15.5 # aplay --list-devices **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 1: CARD [XONAR SOUND CARD], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: CARD [XONAR SOUND CARD], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: CARD [XONAR SOUND CARD], device 2: USB Audio [USB Audio #2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 tw # aplay --list-devices **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: CARD [XONAR SOUND CARD], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: CARD [XONAR SOUND CARD], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: CARD [XONAR SOUND CARD], device 2: USB Audio [USB Audio #2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Leap-15.5 # lsusb Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 011 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 010 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 002: ID 13b1:003e Linksys AE6000 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter [MediaTek MT7610U] Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 009 Device 002: ID 046d:c062 Logitech, Inc.
