[12:57] <nordnerd> Hey all. I'm having zero luck getting US to use my USB sound card, and there doesn't -seem- to be much out on the nets in the way of troubleshooting. Anyone with experience in this area that can lend a hand?
[12:59] <nordnerd> For reference, the card is 'seen' in ALSA, JACK, and in at least some applications (like VCV Rack), yet I'm not able to get sound through it.
[15:10] <veremitz> you probably need to get alsa to 'use' it, instead of something else. The default device can be set.. somewhere. I'm a bit rusty with alsa, since I switched ot pulse
[15:11] <veremitz> pulse auto-switches for you! :/
[15:11] <veremitz> (which is good *and* bad!)
[15:12] <nordnerd> Ok. So when I did some fiddling with ALSA, I was able to set the USB device as the default (presumably, as it's the device that comes up with alsamixer), but still had no sound.
[15:13] <nordnerd> Honestly I've been fiddling with so many settings trying to get this to work, I may have broken something pretty much anywhere along the chain.
[15:14] <nordnerd> When I set the devices in the Ubuntu Studio Controls app to the internal ALC269VC card, I get sound out of the internal speakers though.
[15:31] <nordnerd> Ok, awesome, I managed to get VCV to put sound out through JACK/USB
[15:31] <nordnerd> Not to figure out how to get MIDI in
[15:36] <nordnerd> Can't get it to show in the "MIDI" section of qjackctl and when I select it from ALSA in VCV Rack, VCV Rack crashes
