[LAU] Problem with a Vestax VCI-100MKII controller

Hi all.

I'm hoping you can shed some light on a problem I have with a DJ
controller (Vestax VCI-100MKII) that's also a soundcard. My problem is
that when I connect it, it keeps disconnecting.

I've tested this on two laptops, both running Ubuntu 20.04. One a bit
older and newer one that only has USB-C, so on the newer one I connect
the controller via a USB hub.

syslog on the older laptop:

>From this it seems that the common problem in the output is the "can't

Any idea on what is going wrong? I'm coming up empty with my google
searches. :-(
