While em28xx driver tries to do its best to detect, devices without EEPROM will always have issues, as there are lots of similar devices with small differences on how they were wired up. That's why em28xx has the "card" modprobe parameter. Ok, it likely makes sense to add an additional hint based on has_audio. > > Regards, > Frank > > > > > **Interim solution** > > load module (before inserting the EasyCap.

It makes sense to have it documented at the Wiki, in order to help others with similar boards.

The fact is that there are EasyCap devices using even completely different chipsets.
