[SOLVED] Cyrus 8 dac not detected by Snakeoil (solved)

[BioBrian]

Ok, this issue seems to have resolved itself. After failing to get the Cyrus to show up in snakeoil I connected it to a Windows machine to see if it required any special drivers to interface with it. It didn't, the driver was present in the Windows kernel and it showed up as a generic USB audio device. I then decided to check if the Shaar was faulty by connecting to an onboard USB on the Snakeoil machine and it showed up fine. Just to be sure I connected to the Shaar again and what do you know.. it showed up on the harware tab...

No idea why it didn't work the first time but it works fine now. 

We have just installed Snakeoil on a new server, and can find the library, but the Shaar Deluxe card is not showing in the ALSA devices table.
Any clues please?

Thanks,
BioBrian.

Sorry, misunderstood slightly... It's a USB controller so the device I should have been looking for is the DAC I connected to it (which apparently isn't a standard protocol that snakeoil can talk to) and doesn't show up in the device table.  Feel free to delete this thread as I've already answered my own question (I think).
