Ok, seeing the device is half the battle. Others on this list in the
past have disabled HDA in order for the 'more primitive" plain-jane
audio to become available. Forage around in your bios and, if found,
turn it off. If all you are going to use is the USB device, turn off
support for onboard sound, for the time being. It's not like it's
permanent.
Just for ducks, as alsa seems hell bent on using both HDA sound devices.
So, remove them. Funny that you seem to have two sound cards, both set
to HDA. If one is a secondary card, remove it too. You can always put it
back in. The trick will be to get the USB sound device working now. Ric
