Is ASUS Xonar U7 supported?
I plan to buy ASUS Xonar U7 USB sound card but don’t see drivers for Linux in the ASUS site. I don’t see it in the ALSA supported cards page either (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Asus). Does anyone know whether its supported in Linux?
On my computer (Ubuntu 14.04 x64) it doesent’t work, but on my 2nd computer on win 8.1 it works perfect. On boot, i can hear the «click» from the U7 and the blue headphones LED is turned on, that means it must be initialized. but not really. I’ve tried the tipps above, with no success. In the VLC media player i can see all the U7 devices in the preferences menu, but none of them is working. No chance to get the U7 up and running here. Maybe Asus has changed something to the chipset or firmware.

I tried the Xonar U7 on Mint 16 (based on Ubuntu 13.10) and it works fine (I haven’t tried multi-channel though). Absolutely no noise, the sound is perfect with alsa k3.11.0-12-generic , alsamixer v1.0.27.1 and pulseaudio 4.0 .
On 29th January the alsa-wiki page provided in the first post was updated, and now the Xonar U7 is supported. With the alsamixer is also possible to change the gain setting.
To fix the broken pipe error, add options snd-usb-audio ignore_ctl_error=1 at the end of alsa-base.conf :
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf add options snd-usb-audio ignore_ctl_error=1 , save and close.
press F6 and select «Xonar U7», now you can change the «Speaker Front» value to increase/decrease the headphone output gain.
I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am for your answer. I’m travelling for another 6 months and have U7 as my only sound source as the jack in my machine has broken, which is why I bought the U7 before leaving the UK. The low sound output was an embarrassment at parties. Kisses.
To make the Xonar U7 analogic multichannel playback fully work on lubuntu, you need to do the following:
1- in file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, change the line options snd-usb-audio index=-2 to options snd-usb-audio index=0 in order to set the U7 as your default sound card
2-in home file /.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
set the volume keys with amixer lines such as: XF86AudioRaiseVolume: amixer -c 0 sset Speaker 3+ unmute XF86AudioLowerVolume: amixer -c 0 sset Speaker 3- unmute XF86AudioMute: amixer -c 0 sset Speaker toggle using the ‘Speaker’ control
