I'm something of a noob when it comes to using Linux for audio, so please forgive the stupid questions and give simple answers! I am generally familiar with Linux though. I've got a Cakewalk UA-1G but am having trouble understanding what I need to do to use it fully. I've plugged a mic and phones into it and when I plug it into a USB port on my Linux box, the red USB light on the device comes on and I can hear the mic using the phones. So I think the hardware is working. If the UA-1G is switched to standard mode, it seems to work properly and I can use both aplay and arecord successfully. However, if I have it switched to advanced mode when I boot and/or plug it in, it doesn't work. In /var/log/messages I see: Feb 23 16:23:58 piglet kernel: [ 5769.114020] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Feb 23 16:23:59 piglet kernel: [ 5769.273927] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0582, idProduct=00e9 Feb 23 16:23:59 piglet kernel: [ 5769.273933] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Feb 23 16:23:59 piglet kernel: [ 5769.273936] usb 2-2: Product: UA-1G Feb 23 16:23:59 piglet kernel: [ 5769.273938] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Roland Feb 23 16:23:59 piglet kernel: [ 5769.282926] ALSA usbaudio.c:2943: 3:0:1 : unknown interface protocol 0002 Feb 23 16:23:59 piglet pulseaudio[3316]: module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.
