Do you say: it works sometimes and sometimes not? ALSA has not hotplug, so if you power on that device too late, it won't be listed.

Hi Fritsch,

I thought of that as well; I disconnected the DAC from the integrated setup and now have an identical DAC connected that is always powered on. Depending on the XBMC Audio Settings it does show up in the list or not after reboot. I am continuing with changin settings and rebooting until I know what influences the detection.

Can it be that the sampling frequency setting (the one that shows up when selecting FIXED) is stored somewhere and is read during startup which influences visibility in XBMC (icw the 48kHz that shows in the XBMC log during enumeration)?

While awaiting your reply I will continue testing different permutations ;-)

Regards
