Hello, sorry for not replying earlier, yes snd-usb-audio is loaded: [15217.305729] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd [15217.324934] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1397, idProduct=0003 [15217.324940] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=28, Product=29, SerialNumber=30 [15217.324944] usb 3-1: Product: FCA610 [15217.324947] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: BEHRINGER [15217.324950] usb 3-1: SerialNumber: 0x156400d040 [15218.722923] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio I am able to play multichannel WAV files just fine: $ aplay -D plughw:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0 -c 10 Musik/test-6ch.wav Playing WAVE 'Musik/test-6ch.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Channels 6 ^CAborted by signal Interrupt... But only on the plughw device not hw or any of the others: $ aplay -D hw:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0 -c 10 Musik/test-6ch.wav Playing WAVE 'Musik/test-6ch.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Channels 6 aplay: set_params:1233: Sample format non available Available formats: - S32_LE $ aplay -D front:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0 -c 10 Musik/test-6ch.wav Playing WAVE 'Musik/test-6ch.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Channels 6 aplay: set_params:1233: Sample format non available Available formats: - S32_LE There is a stream0 file: $ cat /proc/asound/FCA610/stream0 BEHRINGER FCA610 at usb-0000:00:14.0-1, high speed : USB Audio Playback: Status: Stop Interface 1 Altset 1 Format: S32_LE Channels: 10 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000 Data packet interval: 125 us Capture: Status: Stop Interface 2 Altset 1 Format: S32_LE Channels: 6 Endpoint: 2 IN (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000 Data packet interval: 125 us So it looks like only S32_LE is supported, but uncommenting and changing default-sample-format = s16le to s32le in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and restarting PulseAudio dosen't help. I think I'm very close to what I want, but I don't know where to continue with debugging from there.
