(SOLVED) ASUS XONAR DG Wierd Sound Card Problem with Linux Mint
(SOLVED) ASUS XONAR DG Wierd Sound Card Problem with Linux Mint
Post by PlutoPup » Thu Jun 15, 2017 8:40 pm
I have read some Topics on this from Linux Mint 13 — that said it worked — to Linux 14 and up — that said it didn’t work.
I have tried Linux Mint Mate 17.3 and Cinnamon, and also Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.1. Here is the problem:
I have the front Audio from the case hooked up — (you know the front jacks for headphones and mic) — I get sound from the front headphone jack (speakers plugged into the case front) but NO SOUND from the rear jacks. Why is this.? It’s obviously a driver issue that’s been going on a long time. I haven’t found a solution from the forums or web. Anybody out there know to make the rear jacks work.? ASUS Xonar DG
I only get a «headphones» option in the sound settings. If there is no solution for Linux and the Xonar PCI Card, can you tell me what PCI sound card with front audio for the case hook-up works with Linux,?

I have Onboard Sound, AC97, but it does not work so I switched it off in the Bios.
I installed the mixer last night but the only option I get is HEADPHONES, nothing else.
Should I get Xonar ST card.? The driver for the DG is correct but no sound from rear jacks.

Did you have anything plugged into the front jacks when trying to use the rear jacks?
The way the default sound setup may be is (simplifying here), there’s the hardware, drivers etc in the kernel, a layer called ALSA, a layer called Pulseaudio, the audio backend and the app on top. Pulseaudio’s importance is debateable, it might be called an exchange used for convenience. If pulseaudio is being a problem, one could remove or disable it and use «straight» ALSA (wouldn’t recommend doing so unless you’re out of viable options). Maybe it’s a bug in the mixer app. We can sort of bypass the default mixer app by using alsamixer.
alsamixer is a command-line utility, a part of ALSA that should already be installed by default. I’ll attach a screenshot —

Yes. That would be nice to get it working properly. Since adding the card and turning off on-board sound, the system is a bit more responsive. Which stands to reason. I am not sure how to add a pic, but here is the Alsa return:

The sound only gives the «headphones» option, plugged in or not plugged in,.

Read it. Can’t make much from the fractured english of the original bug report post but from the rest of the posts, it looks like the right controls weren’t present or weren’t working in, I guess, the desktop’s default sound control app, but that they were able to use alsamixer (the terminal app I suggested before, not gnome alsa mixer) or qasmixer (it’s provided in the repositories — I’ve never used it) to select the right output. Have you tried alsamixer yet? Open the terminal and at the prompt, type alsamixer, then press enter. You should get something that resembles the pic I posted before. You use the arrow keys to navigate around (left or right) and work the controls (up or down), the m button for mute, as the last post at the bottom of the page in that link adds, «go to tab <analog out> and use up/down to change output. » If you need help using it, you can check out the manual page for it by entering man alsamixer in the terminal.
If you can’t control the sound as you need with alsamixer (or that ‘qasmixer’ if you want to try it), perhaps install pavucontrol and try that.

Xonar dg linux mint
Драйвер для звуковой карты Asus Xonar DG/DGX для Linux
Имеется такая очень неплохая линейка звуковых карт Xonar от Asus, Правда, драйверов под Linux для этих карт что-то написать не захотели. В гугле уже много разочарованных отзывов аж с 2011 года. Исправляем ситуацию: теперь еще две модели (Xonar DG\DGX) поддерживаются.
UPD 30/01/2014:
После наших баталий с мейнтейнером, в конце концов появилась годная для апстрима линейка патчей http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-January/071898.html
UPD 17/03/2014:
Таки нашли и пофиксили баг-регрессию, из-за которой перестал работать контрол Stereo Upmixing. Теперь все работает.
UPD 8/04/2014:
Патчи теперь в стабильном ядре 3.14. Качаем с kernel.org и пользуемся.
Новая версия драйвера будет по умолчанию в Linux 3.14. А на старые версии ядра можно применить (желательно последнюю, 4-ю версию, искать по ключевому слову Oxygen) серию патчей:
Как включить звуковую карту в Линуксе?
Звуковая карта ASUS Xonar Essence STX не работает в Линуксе 17.2 Mint, производитель карты сообщил, что драйверы не планируют производить и в Линуксе она работать не может. В интернете некоторые пишут, якобы карта как-то включается, возможно это могут делать продвинутые программисты. С другой стороны в настройках звука карта отображается, все галочки и ползунки включены, кроме этого карта издаёт щелчки при загрузке системы (специальные реле — особенность этой карты), таким образом системы видит карту автоматически, но все плееры молчат, звука нет вообще, как будто что-то надо включить и я не знаю что и где. У кого работает эта карта в Линуксе и что вы делали?
Ответы
Карта должна работать. См.:
Там ваша карточка указана как рабочая, начиная с kernel 2.6.30. Вероятно, вам надо поставить драйверы alsa. Не исключено, чтобы всё это заработало, понадобится ещё PulseAudio.
Да, но где и что именно надо скачать, допустим какой драйвер?
Гипотетически, всё это должно присутствовать в репозиториях Mint. В моём дистрибутиве это был, по-моему, alsa-driver (ставился исключительно для максимальной функциональности карты, «чтобы было», так как ядро сразу определило новое устройство, а мне, по большому счёту, нужно только воспроизведение).
По идее, новое ядро подхватывает вашу карту без проблем, никакие драйверы не нужны. Могу лишь предположить, что что-то вы делаете не так. Например, если у вас есть встроенная звуковая карта, то лучше её отключить в BIOS’е, а то могут быть конфликты прерываний. Есть ещё интересный момент: иногда карточка прописывается в системе как бы не до конца и определяется как Dummy Audio Device. Это происходит, если поставить карточку и перезагрузить компьютер, не воткнув в линейный выход включённую акустику или наушники — устройство звуковоспроизведения вроде как есть, но звуков не издаёт. Тогда карту надо перепрописать заново и перезагрузить компьютер с включённой акустикой.
Кроме того, раз Mint — это вариация на тему Debian/Ubuntu, лучше спросить, как «заводится» Xonar, на англоязычном форуме Ubuntu (там просто люди относительно вменяемые, а не дикари).
Более того, Линукс так и обозначает карту в настройках звука — ASUS Xonar Essence STX, я нажимаю на неё, всё включено, это явно что-то мешает уже после железа, в биосе встройка отключена, это я знаю, попробую ещё при включённой аппаратуре запуститься.
Там на английском и настраивать много похоже http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-virtuoso
Сомневаюсь, что в вашем случае необходимо ковыряться в конфигурациях и мучить командную строку. Полагаю, что раз Mint, как они пишут, works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use, там должны быть нормальные утилиты с человеческим GUI для настройки аудио и всего остального.

Hey there, just got onto Arch Linux. My sound card is a Xonar DG, which has limited Linux compatibility; works with alsa, but it has no volume support. Can someone please, for the love of god, help me get volume working? Everywhere I have looked says all you need to do is install PulseAudio, but it certainly doesn't seem as simple as that (at least to me). Thanks!

Re: [solved] Asus Xonar DG configuration with PulseAudio
Hi, sorry for ressurecting this, but I would just like to add that I had the same problem — no volume control with multimedia buttons and no matter what I did with systemsettings (I use KDE) or asound.conf, nothing seemed to help. I would have the sound but it would occasionaly drop and I still had no volume control.
After installing pulseudio, pavucontrol, paprefs, and pulseaudio-alsa it didn't work at first (now I didn't even have the sound). I didn't touch any config files. In pavucontrol I saw that there was some signal going to the output but it was for the on-board sound card and not for Xonar. Previously I also had problems with the Nvidia HDMI output putting itself in front of Xonar. In pavucontrol under "configuration" tab, I set the "NVidia HDMI" and "Build-In Audio" to off and everything started working immediately as it should. Hope this helps someone in the future.

I have tried Linux Mint Mate 17.3 and Cinnamon, and also Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.1. Here is the problem:
I have the front Audio from the case hooked up — (you know the front jacks for headphones and mic) — I get sound from the front headphone jack (speakers plugged into the case front) but NO SOUND from the rear jacks. Why is this.? It’s obviously a driver issue that’s been going on a long time. I haven’t found a solution from the forums or web. Anybody out there know to make the rear jacks work.? ASUS Xonar DG
I only get a «headphones» option in the sound settings. If there is no solution for Linux and the Xonar PCI Card, can you tell me what PCI sound card with front audio for the case hook-up works with Linux,?

I have Onboard Sound, AC97, but it does not work so I switched it off in the Bios.
I installed the mixer last night but the only option I get is HEADPHONES, nothing else.
Should I get Xonar ST card.? The driver for the DG is correct but no sound from rear jacks.

Did you have anything plugged into the front jacks when trying to use the rear jacks?
The way the default sound setup may be is (simplifying here), there’s the hardware, drivers etc in the kernel, a layer called ALSA, a layer called Pulseaudio, the audio backend and the app on top. Pulseaudio’s importance is debateable, it might be called an exchange used for convenience. If pulseaudio is being a problem, one could remove or disable it and use «straight» ALSA (wouldn’t recommend doing so unless you’re out of viable options). Maybe it’s a bug in the mixer app. We can sort of bypass the default mixer app by using alsamixer.
alsamixer is a command-line utility, a part of ALSA that should already be installed by default. I’ll attach a screenshot —

But the point of my attempted help is that there’s surely a way to get the hardware you have working as you’d like.[/quote]
Yes. That would be nice to get it working properly. Since adding the card and turning off on-board sound, the system is a bit more responsive. Which stands to reason. I am not sure how to add a pic, but here is the Alsa return:
[An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for GNOME ALSA Mixer. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.]
Details:
Bad key or directory name: «/apps/gnome-alsamixer/display_mixers/»: Key/directory may not end with a slash ‘/’
Bad key or directory name: «/apps/gnome-alsamixer/display_names/»: Key/directory may not end with a slash ‘/’
The sound only gives the «headphones» option, plugged in or not plugged in,.

Found this link among the many Xonar DG and Linux problems. It sounds like he solved a very similiar problem to mine but I don’t understand anything in the post.
If you care to, take a look:
See if this can help me.

Read it. Can’t make much from the fractured english of the original bug report post but from the rest of the posts, it looks like the right controls weren’t present or weren’t working in, I guess, the desktop’s default sound control app, but that they were able to use alsamixer (the terminal app I suggested before, not gnome alsa mixer) or qasmixer (it’s provided in the repositories — I’ve never used it) to select the right output. Have you tried alsamixer yet? Open the terminal and at the prompt, type alsamixer, then press enter. You should get something that resembles the pic I posted before. You use the arrow keys to navigate around (left or right) and work the controls (up or down), the m button for mute, as the last post at the bottom of the page in that link adds, «go to tab <analog out> and use up/down to change output. » If you need help using it, you can check out the manual page for it by entering man alsamixer in the terminal.
If you can’t control the sound as you need with alsamixer (or that ‘qasmixer’ if you want to try it), perhaps install pavucontrol and try that.

I uninstalled pavucontrol and gnome alsa mixer to get unconfused and installed qasmixer from the software manager and actually had the option to change to multichannel.

I want to «Thank You» for sticking with me through this problem. You have been a huge help with guiding me to the solution. Thank You.
Asus Xonar DG 5.1 digital
Купил себе звуковую карту Asus Xonar DG, но не понимаю как сделать чтобы она играла 5.1 через оптику. У меня есть домашний кинотеатр, у которого есть только оптический вход.
Стандартный приём с
/.asoundrc позволил видеть Digital 5.1 конфигурации, но звучат всё равно только сабвуфер и передние колонки. Центр и задние не звучат. И всё, на этом месте я больше не знаю куда копать.
P.S.: система у меня Ubuntu 17.10, но в общем-то готов поставить почти что угодно. На арче у меня не заработало тоже.
P.P.S.: впрос решён. Я, дебилушка, не заметил что на домашнем кинотеатре выключен surround.
фильмы или игры не пашет? 5.1 через оптику только фильмы с 5.1 и кажется только оригинальные dvd/blu-ray (насчет rip’ов не сильно знаю, лень было продолжать выяснять). о играх и не мечтай по оптике (там 1.5 игры которые умеют). у самого по оптике было подключено, в итоге вернулся на аналоговый трехштекерный вариант.
Что за бред. В Linux нет официальной поддержки того DeRьMа, которое для гей-луча. Если играется, то посредством обхода (взлома).
Меня только фильмы интересовали и только рипы.
Извиняюсь что влезаю, но сама карта Xonar DG под линуксом нормально поддерживается? Т.е. регулировки всех каналов в alsamixer доступны? Например для DGX выяснилось что только front есть.
У DGX физически нет других контролов.
но звучат всё равно только сабвуфер и передние колонки
конешно бред, ага.
И как ему поможет в этом деле лицензионный blu-ray, который под линуксом автоматически превращается либо в тыкву, либо в нелицензионный?
я не говорил, что оно поможет. я сказал — играть 5.1 по оптике будет только на лицензиях. а то что линукс это не умеет — я не говорил. и что это поможет в линуксе я не говорил.
Какое оношение имеет лицензионность к 5.1? Звуковая карта играет 5.1 только если он обмазан HDCP?
беру игру. звуковая оптическим кабелем подключена к 5.1 logitech z906. в настройках ставлю 5.1 звук. не играет 5.1, играет только передние левый/правый. убираю оптику, ставлю обычный аналоговый на 3 кабеля. играет 5.1. какое отношение — разбирайтесь там сами. такая же ситуация со всякими avi/mkv, где звуковая дорожка 5.1. лицензионных blu-ray в руках не держал, инфу почерпнул из инета. избавился от оптики, т.к. хочу 5.1, хоть она и удобнее, всетаки 1 кабель вместо 3х.
Скорее всего дело в linux-драйвере для самой карты.
