Add the lines audio snd-usb-audio to your /etc/hotplug/blacklist file (or create it if it doesn't exist). This should prevent the crashing driver from being loaded automatically. And please post the output of "lsusb -v" (when the UA-30 is connected), and your ALSA version (in /proc/asound/version, if ALSA is running). If the "audio" driver is the culprit, you might try to do a "modprobe snd-usb-audio" manually. If this works, you can remove the snd-usb-audio line from the blacklist file. > Is it worthwhile getting another soundcard? Not as long as there is hope to get the UA-30 running. HTH Clemens
