usb soundcard xonar u7 - interrupts whole system

hy!
I have everything running on Raspberry B 256KB (Hdmi Sound). When I plug in my Usb-Soundcard Asus Xonar U7 and reboot all the status leds go out and on back again and out and on, so the system is completely unresponsive (ssh and web). i suspect some kind of interrupt conflict at usb. I tried Musicbox which goes into bootloop when plugging in the soundcard. The soundcard works fine unter Ubuntu. Unfortunately I cant configure Alsa manually, I just dont have the knowledge. The soundcard is detected with multiple slots: usb-sound, usb-midi and so on (in Musicbox).
I know that the soundcard is known to not work “out-of-the-box” under linux, but with Ubuntu I had no problem to make it run.
Is there something I can try wit volumio in the config files or else?
Thanks!

First, Volumio will not work on 256MB raspberry PI’s. Second this looks to me as insufficient power supply, try to change it

its acutally running with hdmi audio. i have a 2000mA supply. If it would be power it would go out on on? but login screen sits there, while leds go out an come back on, just not responsive.

dmesg shows its unplugging all usb and replugging as long as the soundcard is on. when the soundcard is removed its plugging even a keyboard and working:

hy, if its power, it would literally go out and reboot, wouldn it? it just switches usb off an on and of and on as long as the soundcard is plugged in. without the soundcard it works on hdmi.

to rule out power: i tried with a 10W Apple Laptop Power Supply. Same result. I then tried to plug a powered Usb switch to the Raspy and plug the sound card on the switch. Same result. As soon as the sound card gets connected the Raspy goes havoc…but it returns to normal after unplugging the soundcard.

Why don’t you connect the USB DAC before turning on the PI?

thats what happens, when the soundcard is already plugged in at boot-time, it stalls

i found this thread, and i am now trying rpi-update

github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/548

update:
unfortunately the updated kernel is incompatible:
error moving root invalid argument

do you have any ideas?
thanks

update:
installed the latest official raspbi minimal debian image. sudo apt-get upgrade. then connect usb sound and boot. the same. other messages in dmesg, but essentially, the os is up but all usb connections are disconnected (red light stays on) and then reconnected etc.
