hello

i had quite similar experiences with usb hubs and usb soundcards and also midi interfaces

the usb sounddevice for instance, wanst working over a unpowered usb hub, and
of course doing his job when connected directly.

and some interfaces may not work correctly like described above.
for instance the usb midisport 2x2. i coulnd get it working to
provide midi signal out into old analog syntesizers ( i guess they are more sensitive
or have more powerconsumption, i dont know, on the midi site ). i had to route it 
through powered midi i/o ports to get it working. so i gave that interface away.


i dont know if this has anything todo with alsa, i dont think so.

best
m
