Hi, I hope this is the right list for this question.
I have an Audigy 2 NX USB external sound device. It works correctly under XP, and worked briefly under linux. Now I cannot get it to initialize, with the same error on the machine which previously worked. It also fais to initialize from my laptop. Both the original machine and the laptop have standard Mandrake 10.2 kernels, 2.6.15 kernels and 2.6.16rc2 kernels. When the sound card initializes correctly, the red mute led goes off. This continues to occur in XP, but not longer does under Linux, for any of these kernels. In addition, I get the attached dmesg output on plugging in the device, with USB debugging enabled in the kernel. I wondered if the the following was the key error: snd-usb-audio: probe of 2-2:1.0 failed with error -5 Having tried backing off all changes on the original machine that I can conceive of, I have run out of ideas, and would be very grateful indeed for any pointers. Many thanks, Matthew
