[Alsa-user] Can't get usb sound to work, MCM590 Philips Micro System

[<ru...@li...>]

Hi all:

I just got a small MCM590 philips sound system, which among other
things, is usb enabled. Nice sound system in fact :-)

I'm using FC2 and until today, I had an onboard VIA sound card working fine.

I disabled tthe VIA card on my BIOS, so the only sound device attached
to my box is this usb device. Everyting looks ok, it gets detected by
hotplug and gives messages like it's activated and all, but it refuses
to create a sound device. Even kudzu found it but there's no sound
card!. Below is all the info I could think of. As usual, maybe is
something silly like linking something or changing some parameter, but
I'm quite at a loss. Looked up and down the web and usenet vía google,
but there is no info whatsoever on this particular device, and
everything related to alsa looks ok (methinks), BUT it doesn't work.
Haven't checked under XP, but I'm sure it will, since it comes with
drivers and all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Rubén
