Hi,
I recently bought a Creative Soundblaster USB sound adapter,
for recording on my laptop (the inbuilt sound card doesn't bring the
line inputs out to a connector, so it's useless for recording).
Alsa recognises the device, but alsamixer shows several channels that
only half make sense
A quick report,
An installfest was held at the University of Wollongong during four
sessions over saturday-sunday of last week-end. The purpose was to setup
student computers to replicate teh University lab computers as closely

I had the misfortune to get a genentech usb-ide bridge that
didn't work with some older linux kernels, but had blacklist
workarounds in later ones. Also it didn't work in win xp until
sp2.

Yeah I remember looking this thing up on google, and the USB Sound Blaster thing is listed as having poor support and being flaky at best in Linux. Even if you do get it to work, the levels are horrible and the sound quality is the same.

err, are you trying to access something in an external USB hub?
If so, does it worked plugged into the mobo sockets?
Someone else has reported a problem with using usb devices in external

Try lsusb -v, and look for the idVendor, idProduct strings
