Which possibly means the USB interface doesn't provide any other
controls. The output of 'lsusb -v' could give a hint.

Nope, that shouldn't matter. If PulseAudio doesn't see the card, the
reason is something else. You can start PA with "-vv" to get some debug
output.

What's the actual issue? If the device doesn't have hardware mixer
controls, PA will fall back to software volume, which just work as well.
But alsamixer won't have the controls when the hardware doesn't offer them.

If you see the device with 'aplay -l' or in /proc/asound/cards, JACK and
PA should be able to pick them up just fine. ALSA itself already works
as expected at this point.

Are there any messages in dmesg when you plug in the device?


Thanks,
