[EN] HRT Musicstreamer II (Hirestech) (usb->Cinch D/A-Interface)

[Lanzi]

I bought this device, since the homepage told me it works without driver installation with linux.
So I connected it with my usb and conigured the newly appering device (musicsrreamer) as primary soundcard).
The device shows me If I mute it in Kmixer and shows a bitrate of 48kHz...
unpluggig it, the status LED arre turning of...
so far so good...
The only small remaining problem: there is no sound!

By The way: Lsusb is not showing the device.
(but it appears in systemsettings-> Multimedia)

edit: lsusb shows a device "Bus 008 Device 006: ID 4852:0003 " taht disapperas when I deconnect the Musicstreamer. SO I suppose it it!

 you are adding a new sound device and probably need to handle the priority of the multiple sound devices for alsa.

there is a wiki-entry in german that might help: http://wiki.siduction.de/index.php?title=Mehrere_Soundkarten_verwalten

I tried the first entry from the wiki, and had no change... The Problem seems to be somwhere else.

If I open Multimedia in Systemsettings and lay a test (test chord) for my new Musicstreamer DAC-Soundcard, I can hear it over my stereo... so the hardware, driver and Connection should be okay. But no mediaplayer is working...

[Lanzi]

Anybody with more ideas...

it works in Systemssettings with the test sound... nothing else works!

As user in a terminal use alsamixer. Which soundcard will be displayed? Can you see the other device by pressing F6? Do you have installed pulseaudio?

[Lanzi]

Well, I see it in Alsamixer with F6. (See fotos, but there is only the option on/of (like in Kmix), which should be noirmal for this device.
