This also applies to recording. If you try to record in any other format that the supported format, you'll just get an error. A good program to test this with is mhwaveedit. It's in AUR. It's the only easy to use program I know that lets you record from ALSA, and choose all the settings. Try to record 24bit 44100Hz Stereo PCM. mhwaveedit can also convert sound files to this format, so you can try to play it. It also seems that although the Windows software is able to upgrade the firmware, it doesn't need to load it each time, so you shouldn't need a firmware loader, but there was new firmare released on March 17th,2006, which might or might not be in your device. > > > > The easiest is if the usb card is the only sound card.
