Public bug reported: I recently tried to get an external usb sound card (Terratec DMX 6 fire USB) working by installing the ALSA driver for this. I started to follow the instructions here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix :Module-usb-6fire
Got as far as the part where it said to insert modules as follows: modprobe snd-usb-6fire ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss Kept getting errors saying the three oss modules weren't found and basically stopped at this point. I thentried to play back some mp3s as usual - no sound. It looks like the system is recognising the soundcard as a pci device, but the alsa is not recognising anything. My sounds settings show only a 'dummy device'. Not entirely sure what I've done, and tried reverting to Ubuntu core audio modules using: sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic But get the message: "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-ubuntu-modules-3.5.0-23-generic" Any ideas what to do now? Thanks in advance... Marty p.s.
