Hi, I have a USB sound card, see output from "lsusb": Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0ccd:0077 TerraTec Electronic GmbH Aureon Dual USB This card is supposed to be supported on most distributions and I am running debian. However, pulseaudio does not recognise it. It is the only sound card on the system. My config file looks like this: root at debian:/home/martin# cat /etc/pulse/default.pa #!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF # # This file is part of PulseAudio. # # PulseAudio is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # PulseAudio is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
