Hi,
I installed the drivber from the arch User repository. The installation worked.
If I type dmesg I only see the TerraTec card registered as an USB device not as a sound device.

The sound manager from KDE recognizes the card and I can select but no sound is played, and it only shows mono but this seems to be a known issue? I fsomeone could point me to a solution for that too?
Just a short update tried the same on solus still not working, the sound card is recognized, as mono, I put up the sound via the alsamixer but still no sound is playing.
After a restart the card is not recognized anymore

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have no clue, what pulseaudio is doing there. Of course the card is not mono ;) Since I don't use pulseaudio, I cannot provide much help here. The only possibility from the driver side seems to be disabling 1-channel output entirely.
Did you look in the thread "unable to receive device firmware state" here in the Help forum? Because the problem (and a possible solution) is listed there.

Thanks for your answer :)
I somehow messed up subscribing to this thread, iI tried this now its recognized as stereo, and I can select it.
It actually wprks now. So happy right now!!!!
The problem was pretty dumb actually :D didin't unmute the card correctly I thought I just had to turn the volume up

Same here. I install new Mint 19, and card is only MONO mode and there is no sound at all.

Ah yes, of course... The hack I posted is so hacky that it also sets the minimum INPUT channel count to 6 and the maximum to 4 - which of course cannot work. I'll separate input and output channel paramerers when patching the driver.

Hi again,
if you want to test the driver patch, you can insert the following line (line number: 85) to fhe file "pcm.c":
alsa_rt->hw.channels_min = 2;
If that works fine for you, I will add a module parameter which allows disabling mono.

Torsten

Hi Torsten,
I tried on Arch Linux and it works, there's stereo mode with pulseaudio. Thank you so much!

OK. Works. after put this line to the file pcm. Cheers !
Hi,
now in pulseaudio there is the multichannel output, it recognize 2 of the 3 audio stereo outputs, great!
vgc
Hi vgc,
so after setting the minimum channel count to 2, pulseaudio now allows outputting 2 stereo channels instead of 1 mono channel? Wow... Wonder, how pulseaudio determines the card's capabilities.
Whatever, after all I've read here, next version will contain an explicit mono-enable module parameter.
Regards,
Torsten
PS: it just occured to me, what does pulseaudio do, if you set the minimum channel count to 6? Can you output to all 3 stereo outputs then?
Hi Torsten,
yes, pulseaudio recognizes 2 stereo outputs, and also jack audio server(!). I've tried, with jack, to set different outputs from differents sources (es. from guitar to guitar amplifier and pc stream music to hifi speakers) and it work fine!
