asound-cm106 (USB) sound card detection
I have a USB sound device asound-cm106 which apparently has the cm6206
chipset.
I want to use it because I give the hell up trying to get my built in
soundcard to work with my current setup (it was always fine before) I can
"sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" to get the refusing-to-do-anything built in
card to appear in the sound card list but I have been left feeling like a
useless idiot trying to figure out my way around this unity thing to try
and make the USB device show up short of virgin sacrifice and prayers to
dark gods. Clearly sound is a lot more complicated than, say, running my
companies Apache servers and coding OO-PHP.
The forums have been unusually unhelpful with every thread having wildly
different answers which all seem to consist of downloading stuff, writing
epics scripts in sub-voodoo languages, replacing the entire sound stack,
patching the kernel or otherwise doing stuff that is so far over my head
as to be incomprehensible. I liked to think that I knew Linux well enough
to put it on my CV but suddenly I feel utterly dumb and not just a touch
useless.
All I want is to plug the silly thing in and get sound out of my speakers.
Could someone offer me a solution that any fool could follow. You may
collect my geek card on your way through.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64bit) with an AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 555
Processor.
