Hi,
I bought a FiiO E7 USB headphone amplifier after having read that it
works fine under Linux [1] [2], but I've not had any luck getting
sound out of it.
When running alsamixer I see "USB Audio DAC" come up when pressing
the F6 "Select sound card". Selecting that and adjusting the volume
accomplishes nothing...no sound out of the headphones plugged into the
device (whereas the headphone jack on my x200s ThinkPad works fine).
I've also unmuted everything in alsamixer.
I'm running Debian sid, here's some info from my system:
% cat /proc/asound/cards

[1] "The FiiO E7 Headphone Amplifier is an USB DAC dedicated to high fidelity
headphone. It works out of the box with my Ubuntu 11.04. I just plug it
when I
need it and several seconds later it appears in my output sound devices
list."

Any suggestions regarding how to troubleshoot this much appreciated.
Thanks,
