Steinberg CL1 USB audio card not working

[hudkins]

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu-Mate 16.04 with the kxstudio repos.

I have a Steinberg CL1 but I'm not getting any audio from it. The light indicating it's working is off. It worked fine out of the box in 14.04. It's class-compliant. I'm trying to get it working but all the info out there is years out of date and the fixes I've tried here haven't worked out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubunt ... dioDevices

I also set it as my default device under the sound preferences. I also did the unplugging and plugging back in thing.

Here is my kernel:

4.4.0-47-lowlatency

The output of aplay -l

The output of lsusb, I'm assuming its showing under Yamaha Corp, It uses a yamaha chipset and I think it was listed that way previously:

Any help is certainly appreciated.

It requires a kernel patch, see https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2150401

[hudkins]

None of those instructions worked for me. I can't locate the quirks table and I wouldn't even know what patch to install... I might be missing something but I've performed all the steps I could in that post.

I tried sudo alsa force-reload and got these results, seems a lot is failing to load:

Oops, that patch may not be needed anymore.

Looks like your configuration is not correct.

How does your .asoundrc look like ?

[hudkins]

There appears to be no .asoundrc or asound.conf file.

[hudkins]

Anyone have any idea? I really want this to work and I'm not so enthused about going back to a 14.04 base.

I'm beginning to think that the driver for my audio interface is missing from the 4x kernels. At least this is the next thing I want to try at. I don't know how or where I can find the driver at this point. The Googs doesn't say much.

Is your ubuntu up-to-date?

There apparently was a bug in the fwupd package prior to version fwupd - 0.7.0-0ubuntu4.2, that prevented usb audio devices from working.

If you use an older version, then install the update, disconnect usb device, reboot, connect usb device again.

Hope that helps.

[hudkins]

It is up to date, I have fwupd 0.7.0-0ubuntu4.3.

I ran apt update && apt-upgrade anyway, rebooted, lots of other packages were upgraded but no difference.

Seems Kubuntu is unaffected for whatever reason so I may either try Kubuntu with the Kxstudio repos or got back to Kxstudio fully.

Thanks for your time on this, though. It's appreciated.
