v4l-dvb-experimental and v4l-dvb-kernel from mcentral.de are depreciated. http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/em28xx-new is the latest available driver, although when updating to that one be sure to revert your previous installed drivers in /lib/modules (no drivers from linuxtv, nor mcentral.de should be there only vanilla modules). run find /lib/modules | grep em28xx | xargs rm -rf to remove the existing em28xx driver (if there are still any) The em28xx-new repository also contains an audiodriver which will work for you since you have the vanilla kernel installed, the repository from linuxtv.org will not support audio for you. The audio driver which is used by your device is called em28xx-audioep.ko Note this one only works with your Ubuntu version since you have manually installed the vanilla kernel.
