I'm running "XBMC Dharma RC1," which uses a generic Ubuntu kernel. I've got a cheap USB Sound card that locks up the system when I plug it in and/or when the system boots up.

Here is a link to the sound card. I couldn't find an official site for it anywhere.
PPA 1455 - Sound card - 48 kHz - 5.1 - USB (http://www.amazon.com/PPA-1455-Sound-card-kHz/dp/B001LLX6QW/)

This is what I get from the syslog:

I've never dealt with something like this, and I don't know what to do with the output. How can I get this working?

Not just your card. Also on TASCAM US-800. Appears related to this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/576496

Here is a very similar callstack fail on completely different hardware. (This is actually the entire boot-to-crash log but you can see the issues.) The NOACPI workaround does NOT solve this problem, sadly.

Well, I _tried_ to attach, and it just dumped spew. The log from connection of device on down is below. Full log here:

OKAY! I got it to work!

So this can be found in google: US-800 US800 TASCAM LINUX UBUNTU :D

Okay, so:

Plug the US-800 into an OSX machine, and run the included software right off CD-ROM (you don't have to install it and there are no drivers) to reset the device to factory. You can also do this on a Windows machine, but that involves installing drivers, so borrow a Macbook or something.

Even after that, plugging it in will crash many variants of the 2.6 kernel. HOWEVER! You can upgrade Linux kernels without upgrading the entire GNU/Linux OS. Directions for Ubuntu are here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds Upgrade to version 3.1.5-generic, and restart the machine.

Plug the US-800 into an open USB port. There will be MANY complaints in syslog. That's… marginally okay. Better than crashing, anyway. We'll fix it below.

Launch JackAudio. Go into settings panel, create a new config, based on current actual configuration. THE RESULT WILL BE WRONG, but we'll fix it.

On the lower right there will be dropdowns for numbers of inputs and outputs. It will probably default to either 2/2 or automatic/automatic. This is wrong. Set those manually to 8/2.

Save those changes, then stop and restart JackAudio. This is ALSO important because I think we're either working around an ALSA device scanner bug where it gets the numbers of inputs wrong, or the hardware is buggy and Windows and OSX patch around it. One of those.

Go back into Jack settings, and on the lower right, near the number-of-inputs selectors, there will be physical device selectors for both input and output. Do NOT pick plughw, even tho' that should totally work. Click on the little down wedge icon that brings up the physical device names, and select “us800” for both inputs and outputs.

Save changes, stop and restart the server. You should now have at least all six analogue inputs, and both outputs, at least in things that talk to JackAudio. I can't validate the digital inputs because I lack the hardware.

I haven't tested multiple bitrates and other changes yet. But I had it working at 44.1Khz and the selector at least shows the other bitrate options and lets me pick them. :D
