So the plot thickens ... A 'StarTech.com USB to Stereo Audio External Sound Card' turned up, looking identical to the one identified by Corey. Documentation says the chipset is 'C-Media CM108AH', and indeed when I break the case open there's a nice SMT CM108AH with exposed leads that I can hack if I go that route. lsusb reports it as 'ID 0d8c:013c C-Media Electronics, Inc.' But ... still no audio!!!!! In desperation, I resinstall everything from the ACID disk I got from allstarlink.org, and lo-and-behold it works! And, all of the other fobs work too. Anyone want a USB Soundcard? Still no idea why it didn't work first time round, but there we go. Many thanks for all your help, Jim M0HPJ.

Many thanks for that info Corey - I've just found someone in the UK selling that model (eBuyer.com) at £10.85.
I'll let you know how I get on.

I buy all of mine from newegg. Never had a bad one yet and everyone of them works. Just do a search for cm108 on their site. I think the are $18.99 US.
