Asus Xonar DS Ubuntu 10.04 not working

SamG · 27 Jul 2010 at 14:01

Has anyone managed to get a Xonar card working under Ubuntu 10.4?

I can get onboard sound from my motherboard but Ubuntu doesn't even see my Xonar card.

Many thanks for your help!

It's not simple package upgrade but should work.

I tried this one a while ago and Ubuntu just hangs on the boot screen now. I'll reboot now and leave it for a while.

Still hangs on the Ubuntu loading screen.

I read your review some time ago. It's a different card, I think your card has been supported for quite sometime from what I've been reading.

Thanks Jack, I'll give it a shot later.

I reinstalled Ubuntu and tried it again and the samething happened. I'll try your suggestions a go now.

Thanks!

I've tried all those suggestions now. I don't think it's a hardware problem as I can log into and use Windows fine. Alsa has been updated in 10.10 as I tried the Alpha 2 this afternoon and it worked straight away.

I've been wanting to try Archlinux for quite sometime so I'll give that a go this weekend.

If I get stuck I'll give you a poke.

Thanks very much for the help!
