Using the updated ALSA lib 1.2.11, Kernel-6-6.38, and get no sound whatever.
Tried two known good sound cards.
Un-muted everything in alsamixer.
Tried wiping the drive and starting over 4 times.
Still no sound ....

Sound Card : XonarDX
Kernel Module : virtuoso

Code:

# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: DX [Xonar DX], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: DX [Xonar DX], device 1: Digital [Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


At wits end on this. :?:

Do you have a asoundrc file that changes default card ?
Is your DX defined as main card in /etc/modprobe/alsa.conf ?

The updated alsa lib has done away with the /etc/modprobe conf files.
Gentoo has also done away with the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory.
Its ALL automagically done.
Don't currently have an .asoundrc file anywhere.
Tried anything I could find in alsa wikis, or documentation.
All failed. :?

Are you playing direct to "hw:0,0" ? In my experience, that's the only way to rule out ALSA fiddling with the audio chain. But you still need to ensure that all the mixer channels are turned up. I guess `snd-virtuosos` is loaded, since ALSA sees a device. I can't remember whether this card needs some proprietary firmware to be downloaded. I do remember that the Xonar cards could be quite fiddly on Linux.

BR, Lars.

I got a Xonar D2X, and it works without any issue. Afaik, no extra firmware is required.
I had to change the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf file to ensure the card would be loaded first by alsa, before* hda-intel. (Not sure it's needed anymore since I removed hda driver from kernel config). And then a lot of try and errors with asoundrc to get 6 channels sound with wine & mpv.

Edit : before hda-intel not after. D'oh me !
