I can't find any details about it on the web, but presume there's a mike on the card which will need to use snd_usb_audio. I'm guessing there may be a conflict where both usb audio devices are trying to use snd_usb_audio in the same card slot. So first thing to try is to remove the midi keyboard from the machine, then see if anything turns up in /proc/asound/cards, like hopefully the webcam mike using snd_usb_audio as card1. If by some miracle it does, you need to add an options line in /etc/modprobe,d/options to cover both devices, the webcam mike and the midi keyboard. Run lsusb -n and you should see the Vid/Pid's for both devices in hex. Add the following options line, removing the snd_usb_audio options line I gave you yesterday but leaving the one for the soundcard. [courtesy of a post on Linux Musicians forum] Look at the output of “lsusb” and “lsusb -n” for the vendor/product IDs of the devices, then specify these IDs in the vid and/or pid options, in hexadecimal. For exampe, if your first USB device has IDs 0123:4567 and the second 89ab:cdef, use the line options snd-usb-audio index=2,3 pid=0x4567,0xcdef You will need to change the 4567 and cdef for whatever the pid's are for the webcam and midi keyboard. Right. Go for it! He says, not holding out much hope.
