Hi Samuel,
Should I be posting back to the Alsa mailing list? I'm not sure how this works, 
I ran the command: sudo tail /var/log/kern.log the output is below, is this 
what is needed or do I need more log files?

Thank you for the reply Samuel,
I'm on a steep learning curve here and have never used logs with Linux,
Should I type
sudo tail /var/log/messages
after plugging in my usb card?
Will this be the best method to discover if my Kernel was compiled with DEBUG? 
What should I look for here?
not sure about the kern.log either, what command should I issue?
any pointers as to how I should go about deciphering the logs and getting them 
to you would be great,
Sorry to be such a noob at this,
Stu

Hi Stu,

it looks like Alsa is having trouble retrieving mixer control information from 
the device, 
or a quirk is missing, or something like that.

Recent kernels have a new usb_audio_dbg() feature that dynamically enable 
printing of debug information for usb audio.
If you kernel was compiled with DEBUG, this information should be logged in 
messages or kern.log

Otherwise you need to recompile with this option or with DYNAMIC_DEBUG option,
and then activate debug traces for the mixer using the command:
  echo "file mixer.c" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control 

Activating traces for any file located under "sound/usb/" could also be useful.

Then, plug your card, try to aplay and amixer, and let us know what comes out.


Hope this helps,

Sam

Have spent a weekend on this before I called for help, any advice would be 
great - specifically if this xmos board will not work then I will know - it 
works under windows fine.
It is the 10pin U8 xmos daughter board for chinese AK4399 dac also for the
