and when i try to select the device on a program get this

```
it seems that the card is not supported by ALSA lib.
How is the procedure to add new cards to the driver?

How can I help to do this?

Thank you

Hi,

some other Roland UA-* cards are supported:

 - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/sound/usb/quirks-table.h?id=14335d8b9e1a2bf006f9d969a103f9731cabb210#n510

it is probably needed to add similar block of code for UA-4FX2.

You may also try whether an existing "quirk" would work with your card - through quirk_alias:
