 ### Using RS ASIO on linux
 
+If you're using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS check [this page](docs/linux/ubuntu_1204_lts.md).

 Some people have had success using RS ASIO with [wineasio](https://www.wineasio.org/) on linux. You can check out [this issue](https://github.com/mdias/rs_asio/issues/99) for more information.

+# Ubuntu 12.04 - Steam Proton setup
+
+
+### Configuring Steam
+
+1. Install the `steam-installer` package. DO NOT install the Steam snap version.
+2. Open steam and login with your steam account
+	- It's recommended you launch steam through a command terminal to see extra log information.
+3. Go to menu `Steam -> Settings`, and on the `Compatibility` tab switch on the option `Enable Steam Play for all other titles`
+4. Install Rocksmith 2014
+	- Since we didn't configure anything else, we should be using the `Proton Experimental` version at this point.
+5. Run the game once to check that the game boots up fine
+
+### Installing WineASIO
+
+In order to install WineASIO we must first add the repositories that contain the `wineasio` package:
+
+1. Go to [https://kx.studio/Repositories](https://kx.studio/Repositories) and download the `kxstudio-repos.deb` file
+2. Install the deb file you just downloaded
+3. Open a command terminal and execute `sudo apt-get update`
+
+Now you should be able to install WineASIO.
+
+NOTE: we're assuming your steam is installed in `~/.steam/debian-installation/`. If that's not the case for you, change the relevant commands accordingly.
+
+1. Open a command terminal and execute `sudo apt-get install wineasio`
+2. Now we need to make the wineasio files available for the installation of the game
+	- Copy `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine/wineasio.dll.so` to `~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/files/lib/wine/i386-unix`
+	- Copy `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine/wineasio.dll` to `~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/files/lib/wine/i386-windows`
+3. Make sure the owner of the files is your user, for example:
+	- `chown your_user:your_user ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/files/lib/wine/i386-unix/wineasio.dll.so`
+	- `chown your_user:your_user ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/files/lib/wine/i386-windows/wineasio.dll`
+4. Make sure permissions are `r-xr-xr-x` for the files, for example:
+	- `chmod 555 ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/files/lib/wine/i386-unix/wineasio.dll.so`
+	- `chmod 555 ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/files/lib/wine/i386-windows/wineasio.dll`
+
+### Installing RS-ASIO
+
+- Copy the contents (`avrt.dll`, `RS_ASIO.dll`, `RS_ASIO.ini`) of [latest release](https://github.com/mdias/rs_asio/releases/latest) (zip archive release-xxx.zip) to the game folder.
+	- The rest of the guide assumes game folder is `~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Rocksmith2014`
+- Run the game
+	- The game should now complain that it has no available audio devices
+	- Close the game
+	- The `RS_ASIO-log.txt` file has been generated in the game folder, if you open it you should see the following in the log:
+```
+...
+0.397 [INFO]  GetWineAsioInfo - Looking for wineasio.dll... 
+0.422 [INFO]    loaded
+0.422 [INFO]    path: C:\windows\system32\wineasio.dll
+0.422 [INFO]    name: wineasio-rsasio
+...
+```
+
+If you see these entries in the log, that means RS-ASIO is able to locate and load your WineASIO installation. However this doesn't mean that WineASIO itself will be able to initialize properly.
+
+NOTE: RS-ASIO has functionality to try to find wineasio without having to use `regsvr32` to register the wineasio dll. This is the message you see in the log entries above. When it finds it, it will expose it with driver name `wineasio-rsasio`, but if you also registered the wineasio.dll manually, you might have both `wineasio` and `wineasio-rsasio` entries showing on your log; this is not a problem and you can use either, but the `wineasio-rsasio` one has the guarantee that the file exists as RS-ASIO just found it.
+
+### Configuring RS-ASIO.ini
+
+A typical `RS-ASIO.ini` for `wineasio` will look like this:
+```
+[Config]
+EnableWasapiOutputs=0
+EnableWasapiInputs=0
+EnableAsio=1
+
+[Asio]
+; available buffer size modes:
+;    driver - respect buffer size setting set in the driver
+;    host   - use a buffer size as close as possible as that requested by the host application
+;    custom - use the buffer size specified in CustomBufferSize field
+;BufferSizeMode=custom
+;CustomBufferSize=
+BufferSizeMode=driver
+
+[Asio.Output]
+Driver=wineasio-rsasio
+BaseChannel=0
+AltBaseChannel=
+EnableSoftwareEndpointVolumeControl=1
+EnableSoftwareMasterVolumeControl=1
+SoftwareMasterVolumePercent=100
+EnableRefCountHack=false
+
+[Asio.Input.0]
+Driver=wineasio-rsasio
+Channel=0
+EnableSoftwareEndpointVolumeControl=1
+EnableSoftwareMasterVolumeControl=1
+SoftwareMasterVolumePercent=100
+EnableRefCountHack=false
+
+[Asio.Input.1]
+Driver=wineasio-rsasio
+Channel=1
+EnableSoftwareEndpointVolumeControl=1
+EnableSoftwareMasterVolumeControl=1
+SoftwareMasterVolumePercent=100
+EnableRefCountHack=false
+
+[Asio.Input.Mic]
+Channel=
+EnableSoftwareEndpointVolumeControl=1
+EnableSoftwareMasterVolumeControl=1
+SoftwareMasterVolumePercent=100
+EnableRefCountHack=false
+```
+
+If you run the game now RS-ASIO will attempt to use WineASIO, which may or may not succeed depending on whether you have it (and jackd) configured correctly. If you launched steam  from a command line terminal you should also see some entries there about wineasio attempting to connect to jackd etc.
