Turtle Beach Catalina 7.1


Hi,

I just purchased this sound card, and it works for the most part. I can't, however, get the S/PDIF to work. I connected the card to my system via optical cable. Here is my lspci:

Code:
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 746 Host (rev 02)
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SG86C202
0000:00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS963 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 25)
0000:00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016
0000:00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE]
0000:00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f)
0000:00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f)
0000:00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller
0000:00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 91)
0000:00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01)
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (rev 01)
0000:01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (Secondary) (rev 01)
In sound preferences (using Ubuntu 5.10), the default sound card is a Chaintech AV-710. Something tells me this isn't right... I disabled my onboard audio in the BIOS. The sound works when I use the analogue cable, but that's about it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Did you disable the onboard before installing any audio? Otherwise you may have to uninstall the old card, and get rid of the settings, even though it is disabled, and not running, it is still pulling incorrectly. Because your Audio is still listed as Via, which is not a Turtle Beach chipset.

Before I installed the Catalina, I only had onboard sound, which I disabled. I have no idea why it is being recognized as a Chaintech AV-710. I've never owned or installed this card before. I found a asound.state configuration to make the S/PDIF work, however, it's meant for the Chaintech card. It does indeed work, but I would like my hardware recognized properly. I guess I can keep the configuration, but I would like (if possible) to get my card recognized as a Turtle Beach card, not some Chaintech.

Both the Catalina and the Chaintech av710 are based on the VIA Envy24 chipset. Your hardware works, why complain?
