[PATCH] Asus Essence STX II

[PATCH] Asus Essence STX II

[corubba]

Today I got my new sound card, a Asus Essence STX II. After plugin it in
and booting my Linux machine, the card was recognized by lspci as audio
controller, but not listed by alsa as soundcard. Information on support
for this new card under linux are hard to find. Due to the hardware
similarities between STX and STX II, I tried to modify the existing STX
driver in order to work for the STX II too. And it seems to work quiet
well: I have sound, can change the volumes, switch between
speaker/headphone/frontpanel, enable the mic boost etc. I don't have the
H6 childboard for surround sound, so I can't test that. I tested my
patch [1] with a 3.15.8 kernel under Arch Linux.

Just wanted to share this information for others to get it quickly
working, or maybe even include it after a review from the devs.

If the device works as expected by just this addition, I find no
problem in the patch.  Please submit in the formal way as described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Hi,

I have 2 CM6571 usb sound cards.

In Ubuntu, i want to use these 2 cardds simultaneously. I open 2 terminals,
and arecord -D plughw:1,0 | aplay -D plughw:1,0 in one terminal, it works
well. but when i type arecord -D plughw:2,0 | aplay -D plughw:2,0 in
another terminal, in second terminal, it says

Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
arecord: xrun:1552: Playing WAVE 'stdin' : read/write error, state =

I think it is about the usb driver in alsa, any ideas?

And what does this have to do with the Asus Essence STX II?

Use separate USB buses.

[PATCH] ALSA: virtuoso: add Xonar Essence STX II support

[Clemens Ladisch]

Just add the PCI ID for the STX II.  It appears to work the same as the
STX, except for the addition of the not-yet-supported daughterboard.
