Since search engines doesn’t work in 2026, I’m asking here for you nice #LinuxAudio people.

If an audio interface shows up as a device in Alsamixer but not in Pavu/Helvum/Bitwig.

Is there anything I can do about it?

(It’s an old digital Roland mixer)

@mosgaard Did you ever get it working? If it's a USB device, the only other thing I can think of that might be missing is `udev` rules. That whole `udev`nightmare may be newer than your device. Or maybe group permissions, but if it works with `alsa` those are probably OK.

@AlgoCompSynth I haven’t had the time to test the suggestions I got yet.

It’s not my own device, but a digital mixer in the concerthall of my workplace. So it was more out of curiosity than need :)
