Hi,

I seem to have an issue with USB soundcards on my laptop.
I have tried two of them, but I keep getting crackling sounds while playing
with Ardour or Hydrogen.
Everytime this crackling sounds occur, I get the following in dmesg:
ALSA urb.c:480: frame 5 active: -18

The Kernel is 2.6.39 with Irqthreads, Alsa is the git version (1.0.24).

I have tried a lot of things already, but I'm really ready to restart the
investigation from scratch and to provide any information!

Thanks in advance for the help.

dmesg details:
