PulseAudio, Slackware 14.2, AudioQuest DragonFly USB
anyone able to get this USB soundcard working under PulseAudio in Slackware 14.2? plugging in this device and running 'cat /proc/asound/cards' doesn't list it, nor is it shown in the PulseAudio Mixer. funny thing though is it works perfectly fine in my guest virtual machine...
does syslog or messages have anything to say when you plug it in, what does lsusb show?
looks like it is detected, as syslog shows the following
Code:
[333997.526062] usb 1-1.2.7: new full-speed USB device number 11 using ehci-pci

the output of lsusb is a bit more cryptic

I do have one, but only to tell it to use PulseAudio as follows

pcm.pulse {

ctl.pulse {

pcm.!default {

ctl.!default {

# $ arecord -f cd -D plug:skype_in |aplay -D plug:skype_out
#

type plug

was this your ~/.asoundrc as well in Slack 14.1? after upgrading to 14.2 I was referenced the config I posted above so that ALSA would pass through to PulseAudio...
You don't need the .asoundrc file. 14.2 includes a file in /etc that does the same thing.
All I can really tell you is that I'm using a USB sound card with 14.2 myself (not the Dragonfly), and it works fine. I can answer questions about my setup, diagnostics output, etc if it would help.

looks like I got it working on my end, since I was using a custom kernel and the USB audio section was under ALSA I didn't think it was needed. anyway, if I remove the device and re-connect it then PulseAudio no longer sees it, however 'cat /proc/asound/cards' still lists the card. is there a way to "restart" PulseAudio? as per the install for 14.2, /etc/rc.d/rc.pulse is disabled and pacmd doesn't see the PulseAudio daemon.
thing is, I read /etc/rc.d/rc.pulse should really be disabled and as such the daemon isn't running... so not exactly sure how to restart whatever is making pulseaudio work
