Not to be critical but the information on that sight is a bit thin. |
| 34 |
It never explains how one is to learn the names of the devices. Which |
| 35 |
would be required to get the syntax right... |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
What can I do to get that device name? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Trying lspci, lshw, hwinfo outputs... but not seeing anything really |
| 40 |
helpful. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
hwinfo shows snd_usb_audio as being needed, and lsmod shows it loaded. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
But where do I look for the device name? |
