[LAU] M-Audio Audiophile 2496 on modern Ubuntu

[Daryl Haataja]

Hi,
  Just a side comment. Unrelated, I have a M-Audio MobilePre USB
preamp. I gave up trying to get it to work, but the next day I had
gotten a link to a video to view.

  Having forgotten that the preamp was still plugged into the USB, I
attempted to view it. My sound was completely locked out. I gave up
trying to get it back. My ubuntu Studio had recognized the USB but I
was unable to get it working.

 Then after the online video thing I began to suspect it has something
to do with DRM and Adobe/Macromedia FlashPlayer. I had a similar
experience in windows. At least in windows I was able to edit the
registry and remove the keys that were disabling sound. In windows it
was only disabled with online videos.

 But in Ubuntu it was just disabled. I did a reinstall. I haven't
plugged it in since.
