Yeah, that's one of the hidden pull-your-hair-out gotchas of USB Audio.
  I ran into it once where an audio device was on the same hub as a
webcam -- and that didn't work well.

The deal is that the audio device reserves a certain amount of bandwidth
over USB. If it can't get -- it won't even try to work. So if some
other device has reserved the bandwidth you need (which they can), then
there's no room left over for yours.
