Hi all,

I want to be able to use a usb sound card to output to 5.1 surround sound. I have already purchased the card here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829126101

,due to many reviewers saying they got this working with linux(ubuntu and what not).

I already have usb control installed and the proper female to femal connector to get it hooked up and recognized.

After i plug it in usbcontrol spits out the ever present:

"USB Device Not supported" (does this with everything, including flash drives)

followed by:

"unable to connect, no file system available" (does not happen with flash drives, so i think this is the problem)

I am assuming that i need some sort of kernal installed that supports usb sound cards like people have done with other usb devices. I am however a linux n00b.

I am trying to set this up as my car stereo system if you are curious. I have all the equipment already as I currently have a computer insalled.

Any help is much appreciated! (I searched and if I missed anything like this I'm sorry)

Don't know - but I'm interested in how it pans out!

Make a separate post if it works. Would also be interested in how you mount it, what speakers, amps, etc you use with it, and so on!

Here are modules:

People haven't had much success (if any). Joulous got the usb after inserting those modules to show up as a hid device. Maybe some hid module needs to rmmoded?

usb modeswitch may help you if a situation like the above happens. This kernel talk reminds me of something I'm working on

Thanks Qwerty12,

Thats on the right track but I have been reading some stuff about ubuntu and 5.1 audio. Is there an easy way to port ALSA to my n810? Cuz if so I can set ALSA up pretty easily to do what i want.

Anyone have any good thoughts on this?

You've got ALSA; we're just missing most of the userspace tools. Try grabbing them from Lenny or Sid, perhaps.
