    Sound Output Device in Input List

    I've got an M-Audio FastTrack Pro. Until yesterday it was working well. Unfortunately it suddenly stopped working, the sound settings couldn't detect it. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it was detected, but now an Output Device is in the Input devices list and I've got no Input device. Here as some screenies.

    As you can see, the Output device is the same as the Input device. The proper Input device has "Input" as a name.

    I was able to fix it myself. I'll share the fix in case someone else gets the same problem.


    It seems that alsa started reading the devices in a different way.

    After listing my cards and devices in /proc/asound, I realized my M-Audio's Channel A was in fact hw:1,1:

    cat /proc/asound/devices && cat /proc/asound/devices
    Code:
     0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                          HDA Intel at 0xf0600000 irq 44
     1 [Pro            ]: USB-Audio - FastTrack Pro
                          M-Audio FastTrack Pro at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2, full speed
     2 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                          HD-Audio Generic at 0xcfedc000 irq 46
      1:        : sequencer
      2: [ 0- 2]: digital audio capture
      3: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
      4: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
      5: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
      6: [ 0- 1]: hardware dependent
      7: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
      8: [ 0]   : control
      9: [ 1- 0]: raw midi
     10: [ 1- 1]: digital audio playback
     11: [ 1- 1]: digital audio capture
     12: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback
     14: [ 1]   : control
     15: [ 2- 3]: digital audio playback
     16: [ 2- 0]: hardware dependent
     17: [ 2]   : control
     33:        : timer
    I looked at my profiles and they looked like this:
    cat /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/maudio-fasttrack-pro.conf
    Code:
    (...)
    [Mapping analog-stereo-a-output]
    description = Analog Stereo Channel A Output
    device-strings = hw:%f,0,0
    channel-map = left,right
    direction = output
    
    [Mapping analog-stereo-a-input]
    description = Analog Stereo Channel A Input
    device-strings = hw:%f,0,0
    channel-map = left,right
    direction = input
    
    [Mapping analog-stereo-b-output]
    description = Analog Stereo Channel B Output
    device-strings = hw:%f,1,0
    channel-map = left,right
    direction = output
    (...)
    I made it look like this:
    nano /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/maudio-fasttrack-pro.conf
    Code:
    (...)
    [Mapping analog-stereo-a-output]
    description = Analog Stereo Channel A
    device-strings = hw:%f,0,0
    channel-map = left,right
    direction = output
    
    [Mapping analog-stereo-a-input]
    description = Analog Stereo Channel A
    device-strings = hw:%f,1,0
    channel-map = left,right
    direction = input
    
    [Mapping analog-stereo-b-output]
    description = Analog Stereo Channel B
    device-strings = hw:%f,1,0
    channel-map = left,right
    direction = output
    (...)
    A reboot and voilá.

    EDIT: You can forget Duplex A + Analog B. It won't work.
