The MAudio Quattro usb soundcard works just fine (although admittedly i don't do anything fancy with it like recording audio). Upon plugging it in I get the expected set of error messages: config 1 interface 1 has no altsetting 1 config 1 interface 2 has no altsetting 1 config 1 interface 4 has no altsetting 2 config 1 interface 5 has no altsetting 2 config 1 interface 7 has no altsetting 2 config 1 interface 8 has no altsetting 2 Other than that, I haven't done any real functionality testing (it plays music, that's good enough for now :) If you guys need me to try anything else, let me know.
