I'm completely new to Linux.
I've purchased this usb soundcard from ebay, which is PCM2704 based, which I believe is meant to work with Linux.
However when I plug it in, I get no response. Using lsusb it doesn't appear either. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it working?
What version and distribution of Linux are you trying to use it in?
Regards...
Hi,
Sorry. I'm using Linux Mint 17.1 with 3.13.0-37-generic kernal.
I've found that when I boot the computer up, the DAC isn't found, however sometimes if I unplug it and plug it back in, it installs, and works.
Here's the part of dmesg when it fails...
Code:
[ 485.728679] usb 4-3: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ohci-pci
[ 485.868692] usb 4-3: device descriptor read/64, error -62

And here's the part of dmesg when it suceeds...
Code:

And under lsusb, it comes up as... (But only when it works).
Code:
Bus 004 Device 011: ID 08bb:2704 Texas Instruments Audio Codec
Do you know if there is anyway to get it working every time on bootup?
Thanks, and I hope I've put enough info in this one.
The final goal is to get this working on a raspberry pi with Music Box installed.
Does this happen if you try this on all your USB ports? If this isn't a hardware issue, then I would be inclined the think this is a bug with Mint, which you could report.

I've given it a go on two computers, and raspberry pi running Debian, and get the same results. Do you think it could still be a hardware fault?

Hi...
So, the two different systems have Linux installed on them and in all three cases, it wouldn't work on boot but would work when you inserted the DAC after? If so, that sounds more like a bug in Linux generally and not the DAC, in which case you would need file a bug report or get someone's assistance that knows a lot more about Linux than I do.
