Hello i dont know what is "asus xonar" but from your post i think it is some sound card or piece of HW....
there might be missing driver / kernel module
Can you add output of command like lspci, lsusb ?

After more testing sometimes when i boot the card is detected and sometimes is not!!!!
i dont know what to do now!!

Re: Alsa not detecting my Asus Xonar Dx after migration

well ... is the proper module loaded when it is not detected ?
can you post logs from dmesg when fails and when it works ?
did you search arch wiki for informations ?
(Always check Arch wiki when you have some common problem)

i Dont know but sometimes is detected when booting and sometimes it select hda-nvida and alsa doesnt detect the asus xonar dx i dont know why, here is my .asoundrc file

pcm.virtuoso {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.virtuoso {
type hw
card 0
}

here with this command i dont know why both hda and virtuoso has number 0

i dont want that alsa select hda nvidia is there any way that the kernel doesnt load that module?

My crystal ball is broken > need more informations.

Please add dmesg or some logs from ALSA or kernel.

It might be that module is not loaded at startup and you need to tell the system / kernel to load it by creating / editing file in "/etc/modules-load.d/"
Reason why it worked after reboot might be that you need to add some options to the driver / module

Hi, i think i solved the problem, think because i have to test it more, i created  directory /etc/modules-load.d  as you told me ,i didnt have it, and i created two files: snd_oxygen.conf  snd_virtuoso.conf with this inside
Code: [Select]
# Load snd_virtuoso.ko at boot
snd_virtuoso
and the same for the oxygen file but with snd_oxygen

rebooted and the same shit nvida nvida and nvida
i read this
https://techgage.com/news/disabling_nvidias_hdmi_audio_under_linux/
in Funtoo i compiled the kernel because i was having similar problems and i disable hda from there
here in artix i created a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
with this inside
Code: [Select]
blacklist snd_hda_intel
rebooted two times and the two times the sound work but i really think alsa is a piece of s..t

It may be that the modules are not loading in the correct order. Create a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and place these lines in it.
Code: [Select]
options snd_virtuoso index=0
options snd_hda_intel index=1,2 id=PCH,NVidia
This is way I can get the snd_virtuoso to load as the first and thus the default sound card. Before I could not get my Asus sound card to be recognized correctly and function normally.
I have the Intel motherboard module enabled, the Nvidia HDMI module along with the Asus virtuoso module all loaded and functional.
