Your usb-audio adapter is not supported. You will save yourself a lot of time and frustration by using the SYBA CM-UAUD or another adapter listed as working in this thread:

Thanks for the reply Jeff.

I thought that would be the case.

I can not find the usb audio adapter described in the tut anywhere in england. How ever i have found one that uses the same chipset and apparently will work as 1.1 usb as well as 2.0.

hopefully this one should work.

PS thank you for writing this tutorial. I am a product designer and I think it is really important for companies to design their products to be able to be adapted with open source softwares and firmware. Not just so that the product is more user friendly but so that it is more versatile and can be made into something new instead of thrown into landfill, and it's people like you that enable people like me with very little electronic knowledge to do this. So thank you so much
