Sound card issues for the Pi

[chickwolf]

Hi guys, I am trying to set up a USB sound card that I purchased for the Pi but am encountering some problems along the way. I am currently following the steps for its installation (link to the guide I am using at bottom, using exact same model of sound card) and have tried installing the alsa-utils, firmware and plugins that I have been told to do. Whenever I input the line of code from the guide, I receive the message "bash: pacman: command not found", I have copy and pasted the code in from the guide so am unsure where I have gone wrong. If anyone would be able to help me with this or point me towards somewhere that could help, that would be grand.

that is arch instructions - you probably need raspbian ones

If you are using raspbian you need to change the line to:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-firmware alsa-plugins

Since pac man is for arch. Try to find a tutorial for raspbian to make it easier.

However, the blogger switched from Raspbian to Arch because he was unable to get that device working on Raspbian.
"I Have Usb Sound Card that uses cmedia chipset and im uses wheezy raspbian image, its not work properly, then im switch to Arch linux and my usb sound card work flawlessly "
