    Can I Install an ALSA driver to use an audiocard that doesn't work in Kubuntu?

    Hello! First post. And also a bit of a Linux newbie.

    Is it possible to use an ALSA driver that's available for my audio card (HT-OMEGA eClaro) in Kubuntu? The card isn't recognized in kubuntu normally, but I saw that its possible to install a driver for it using this, but I can't figure it out how to download stuff from Git or what it wants me to do.
    And after a bit of researching around, I've heard that I shouldn't try to get rid of PulseAudio, and that Alsa is apparently already installed, and now I'm just confused.
    Is there anything I can do to get this card working, or install this driver?

    Thank you!

      Thank you for the reply!

      My audio card doesn't show up in the available devices list.
      Is there anything I can do to make it show up?

        The news doesn't good if alsamixer doesn't see your card:
