My previous 15.x and 15.y upgarded twice or more to 15.5 finally got to the point where it would recognize only that one of my two soundcards that wasn't plugged-in at the time. DON'T ask me hoe it did that!!!
So I did a fresh install and am tweaking it. The card in use is a CMI8788 XONAR Essence STX-II. It gets recognised but there's this issue in the pulse Volume window:
Input-Devices, port "whatever" selected, the slider remains DEAD.
Since I use my compuker mostly for guitar sessions this is a no-go, my playing makes dogs howl but it risks getting better if I can't hear it
Please raise a bug for the kernel team, Its a pretty uncommon piece of hardware in that most hardware designed to use ASIO drivers under windows is normally external, these day's most will ship with a "Class Complaint" mode with a reduced software feature set that allows them to work out of the box on Linux and iOS where as I expect this card probably needs a somewhat custom driver atleast to operate at the low latencies you probably want when playing a guitar through it. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
