You said you make changes to the

"Whenever I update my kernel, I edit the
./drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-cards.c file adding an entry for my
0x400 device.
I've been doing it for years and it's been working fine... until now..."

Please send me the changes you make to the file. I see the following
WOODBURY devices. I am assuming you add 0x400 entry.

{ USB_DEVICE(0x05e1, 0x0480),
                 .driver_info = AU0828_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_WOODBURY },
         { USB_DEVICE(0x2040, 0x8200),
                 .driver_info = AU0828_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_WOODBURY },


There is another table in sound/usb/quirks-table.h for AU0828
devices. In addition to 812658d88d26, 66354f18fe5f makes change
to this table to add a flag. I see two entries in that table:

AU0828_DEVICE(0x05e1, 0x0480, "Hauppauge", "Woodbury"),
AU0828_DEVICE(0x2040, 0x8200, "Hauppauge", "Woodbury"),

Since these drivers are now coupled doing resource sharing,
could it be that with your change to au02828 device table,
your changes are bow incomplete.

I don't have a Woodbury device though. This is something to
try.

Did you consider sending patch to add your device variant,
so you don't have to keep making this change whenever you
go to a new kernel?

thanks,
