In /sys/devices/pciXXXXX, try: for i in `find|grep usb|grep product`; do echo $i; cat $i; done I only have /sys/devices/pci0000:00 here. It gives the name of the product, maybe it can help. Try other files too. For my usb key, I see: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3> ls 1-3:1.0 bDeviceSubClass configuration idProduct remove authorized bmAttributes descriptors idVendor serial avoid_reset_quirk bMaxPacketSize0 dev manufacturer speed bcdDevice bMaxPower devnum maxchild subsystem bConfigurationValue bNumConfigurations devpath power uevent bDeviceClass bNumInterfaces driver product urbnum bDeviceProtocol busnum ep_00 quirks version Also, run 'dmesg' when you plug your audio card and see what it says (if it says something).
