Hello ,
i have installed fresh Jessie on Powermac G5 (PciE Quad Model) and like the System very much.
Everything seems to work, except my 2 external soundcards (Griffin Firewave via Firewire, and Digidesign MBox via USB) seem not recgnized.
Only Soundcard seems Shasta I/O Dummy which works fine; but i would need external soundcard due to failure of headphone jack to keep inserted headphones/speakers holt properly.
rich@debian:~$ aplay -l

Any suggestions on how to make the soundcards recognizable?

Re: external soundcards not recognized / jessie (powerpc64)
soundcards can be difficult.
I have a Focusrite scarlett 2i2 and a Behringer UCA 202. Both soundcards work out of the box with debian.
Perhaps you should try an audio-distribution like AVlinux. With a live cd you can try if your cards are recognized.

What about following the standard procedure instead of guesswork.
First get the USB ID or PCI ID of your device.
Then head over to https://cateee.net/lkddb/ and check if your device is supported or not and what kernel version is required.
If anything is still unclear visit the site of driver provider, in this case this would be http://www.alsa-project.org/.

thank you very much,
it would be great if someone could come up with a simple gui that allows in alsa to switch the soundcard being used;
that would also benefit greatly raspberry users i think.
