Hello, I had the exact same problem. Here's a question I asked on the Ubuntu but got no answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/686779/video-recording-device-detected-but-cant-use-it Now I bought another device, an Ion Video 2 PC MKII, it uses the same chip and it won't work with Linux. Here's a video were a guy compiles his own kernel and makes it work (the Ion Video 2 PC, not the StarTech Device) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30e-N5z51vU I tried the same thing (recompiling a new kernel) following his instructions without success. The sound didn't work and the only thing I got was a still image on VLC. Programs like guvcview and cheese didn't detect the StarTech SVID2USB2. I firmly believe they use the same chip because they both use eb1a:5051 to identify themselves. Many thanks if you guys can fix it.

The em28xx driver seems to load but cannot properly ID the capture cable. Below are the outputs from "dmesg" and "lsusb -v" run after plugging in the device. Any advice is appreciated. Try adding "card=9" to the modprobe option. If that doesn't work than try "card=29". Most of those really cheap devices either have an saa7113 or tvp5150 video decoder, and one of those two board profiles should work. Devin -- Devin J.
