After having problem with my motherboard sound card, which worked capriciously, I added Asus Xonar DG but still can not get any sound out of my ubuntu 18.04 machine.

alsamixer does not show the card as it should. 

#lsmod | grep snd
snd_hda_codec_hdmi     49152  2
snd_hda_codec_ca0132    90112  1
snd_seq_midi           16384  0
snd_seq_midi_event     16384  1 snd_seq_midi
snd_rawmidi            32768  1 snd_seq_midi
snd_hda_intel          40960  15
snd_seq                65536  2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_hda_codec         126976  3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_ca0132
snd_hda_core           81920  4 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_codec_ca0132
snd_hwdep              20480  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm                98304  7 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_core,snd_hda_codec_ca0132
snd_seq_device         16384  3 snd_seq,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi
snd_timer              32768  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    81920  38 snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hwdep,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec_ca0132,snd_rawmidi
soundcore              16384  1 snd

And the Asus driver page does not list Linux as an option, whilde alsa page says that it is supported since kernel 3.14

I have also tweaked Sound > Settings but to no avail.

So left clueless. Any help is much appreciated.

Alright, it turned out that the card was not properly inserted on a PCIe 16.

I changed the carded to another PCIe 16 slut and fastened the card with a screw, then chosen alsamixer as explained here, and also chosen Analog Output-CM187881 in Sound > Setting as my output, it works like a charm!
