Mytek Stereo192 Not Connecting

2.  Building my own kernel?  Should I disclose that I was a software developer in a previous life?  I am willing to give that a try.  If you have any docs on the forums, that would be of great assistance as my Linux is a bit rusty.  

It's actually not that difficult, just time consuming to experiment with various kernels to get that magic one. Steps roughly are
Download kernel source:

1. Download RT patch
   
2. Extract everything on your Snakeoil computer (this is easiest, but can be offloaded to another faster computer in the future)
   
3. Apply RT patch
   
4. Install all the tools necessary to build a kernel (google for list)
   
5. run "make oldmenuconfig"
   
6. run "make config" and enable/disable things you like
   
7. run "make modules && make bzImage"
   
8. run "sudo make modules_install" to install modules
   
9. copy bzImage as /boot/vmlinuz-give-this-a-name
   
10. update /etc/default/grub to use the new kernel
    
11. run "sudo update-grub"
    
12. Reboot and pray.
    

This is just a quick walkthrough. Will have more details later, and this will be automated in the future. Submit your computer config, and wait for an email to download the ZIP file. The new system will hopefully make it easy for users to collaborate and find that magic kernel.
