usb soundcard not detected by hwinfo
Last modified: 2008-07-09 17:05:09 UTC
hwinfo --sound does not find my soundcard. also hwinfo --usb shows it, but as unclassified device. It perhaps just needs the correct usb classid added to a libhd file or so.
Created attachment 57740 [details] hwinfo.sound hwinfo --sound ionly contains the PCI soundcard, but not the USB one.
Created attachment 57741 [details] hwinfo.usb hwinfo --usb shows the USB sound adapter.
Basically, you don't need any yast configuration for USB audio device. Just plug in and adjust the mixer. Of course, the device might not work if it doesn't follow the standard USB audio specification... Reassigned to hwinfo maintainer, anyway.
If you still find this bug in openSUSE 11.0, please reopen this bugreport and change the product to "openSUSE 11.0". We will not fix this anymore, sorry for the long time to keep this open.
[Reply to comment #3] [openSuSE 11.0] That you don't need yast for configuration of the USB audio device is not obvious at all. What you've written in this comment should be added to yast as an explanatory comment (on the page where sound cards get configured).
