I am currently not getting sound from a newly installed Asus Xonar SE sound card on Ubuntu 18.04. The device is recognized, but there is no sound output.
This issue is similar to the one described in this thread:
Recognized but no sound with Asus Xonar SE in Ubuntu 19.04
From the return of aplay -l
I can see that the Xonar SE is card#1
.
aplay -l

I verified that device 1

Therefore, I know I just need to configure the default playback for card#1
with device 1
.
I added a newly made config file (/etc/asound.conf) using
sudo nano ~/.etc/asound.conf
(/etc/asound.conf) file content:
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 1
However, I am still not getting sound. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

@CL. I had PulseAudio initially, but I thought this method would work so I uninstalled PulseAudio using:apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio
However, doing so removes all the sound cards in the Ubuntu settings and still does not resolve the issue. I reinstalled PulseAudio withsudo apt install pulseaudio
and the sound cards are detected again. However, I tried changing configuration and volume settings in PulseAudio but still no sound. Appreciate the help. Just started my Ubuntu journey so maybe the solution is trivial.

I managed to resolve the issue. I reinstalled Ubuntu 18.04 because I did not know of a good way to cleanly uninstall PulseAudio and didn't know if PulseAudio interfered with setting the defaults.
To create the /etc/asound.conf file, I did the following:
Create the file:sudo nano ~/etc/asound.conf
In the file, I entered the lines:
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 1
Write using CTRL-O and exit using CTRL-X.
Reboot. Sound working!
