First apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.
After seeing Tschak909's post about simple phone and Phoenix solo:
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,13314.0.htmlI thought I would dust mine off and try it. In 8.10 there had been a number of glitches with symbolic links and the version of alsa being used which I was able to fix:
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,10428.15.htmlBut in 10.04 my Phoenix solo never worked on my Media Director. Back in May 2013 when I first installed the MD I got this after I plugged it in:
dmesg gives this:
[ 9120.397530] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[ 9120.608612] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

then when I ran the command:
lsusb:
The MD froze. In other words, the system would initially see the mic and register it, but when I would command line lsusb the whole system froze and you had to do a hard boot.
Now, several update/upgrades later I was hoping this had been fixed: I boot the MD with nothing attached except the USB UIRT, HDMI and network cable (no keyboard, mouse, usb hub etc) and see this with dmesg:

[ 252.821353] usbcore: registered new interface driver hidden
if I run aplay -l or lsusb it get this in dmesg:

root@moon104:~
I can take the same Phoenix solo usb mic and run it with no problems on Raspberry Pi or Mac OS 10.9 so I am sure it is not the device itself.
From google I found that there was a bug in 10.04 for usb devices which was fixed by changing the grub script:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-usb-stops-working-problem-in-ubuntu.htmlor patching the kernel:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1251681/But when I start digging into doing this on a MD all of the solutions listed above can not be done from the command line in moon because (I am assuming) of the diskless boot. It turns out that my MD and my core are using different kernels--just to make things more complex.
So, I am wondering what the best way to proceed might be:
1. Upgrade the kernel on the MD?
2. Upgrade a package on the MD?
3. Upgrade (or down grade) alsa on the MD?
4. Change the grub2 script
In all these cases, I need to understand better how you change the image for the diskless boot. While I get hints here and there I can't find anything that allows you to only change the image for the MD without touching what is going on on the core.
Not wanting to destroy everything that is working just for this microphone I am wondering if anyone has experience/suggestions on how best to fix this. Any advice/experience would be greatly appreciated.
