Details

Description:
alsa packages don't include the driver snd-indigodjx, manual install from alsa source is required for this driver. snd-indigodj is included but doesn't work with this variant of the card.

To install:
tar xvjf alsa-driver-xxxx.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver-xxxx
./configure --with-cards=indigodjx --with-sequencer
make && sudo make install


There doesn't seem to be an alsa-firmware package in the repository, which is required to make this sound card work.

To install:
tar xvjf alsa-firmware-xxxx.tar.bz2
cd alsa-firmware-xxxx
./configure && make && make install

After these installs, the sound card is detected and works, but alsa says it has around 24 VMixer controls.

Additional info:
* dmesg output
Echoaudio Indigo DJx 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Echoaudio Indigo DJx 0000:04:00.0: firmware: requesting ea/indigo_djx_dsp.fw

2.6.30 from testing contains this driver, so you will only need the firmware as far as it hasn't been included in the kernel. The firmware package is missing indeed and should be added, there's more drivers that need the firmware.

Hi,

Is there any plans to include alsa-firmware in extra? I use the AUR version and if there's an official one, I would be very happy! :) Thanks.
