[Bug 1498129] Re: Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

 

Thank you, Raymond. I will try this patch and see whether the error
message "cannot get ctl value" goes away.

However, as much as I can tell, my problem is not related to this error
message. ALsamixer works just fine (with "ignore_ctl_error=1", see
above), but pulseaudio does not recognize the S/PDIF sink of the card.

Title:
  Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The external USB audio card Asus Xonar U7 is capable of both analog and digital output.
  ALSA name for the digital (S/PDIF) output is hw:1,1, and it is listed in aplay -l output, and aplay can output to it:
  aplay -D plughw:1,1 sample.wav. So, direct alsa sound works fine.

  However, pulseadio does not recognize the digital output of Xonar U7,
  it offers only analog output.
