Microphone recognised as disk!?
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JVCQ)
I need to convince my system to see my new microphone as a microphone, and only that. I'm on Slackware64-15.0. Details are below.

This seems a mighty strange device. ~It's a usb microphone on a tripod with ever changing led colours, but it also identifies as a disk! It's brand name is BLOW. The label is in Polish, and gives the website: https://www.protech.com.pl/
It's not in yesterday's usb.ids. Here's what I can find on it. Code:dec@Ebony:~$sudo lsusb |grep Jieli
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 4c4a:4155 Jieli Technology UACDemoV1.0
Zoom actually gives the fullest description:"UACDemoV1.0 Audio-Default Audio Device"
dec@Ebony:~$lsblk |grep sdb
sdb 8:16 1 0B 0 disk
[sdb only appeared when I plugged it in. the '0B' size is also somewhat odd.]
dec@Ebony:~$ls -l /dev/disk/by-id |grep usb-BR25
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 23 09:09 usb-BR25_UDISK_4150325431313106-0:0 -> ../../sdb
dec@Ebony:~$ls -l /dev/disk/by-path
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 23 09:09 pci-0000:0a:00.3-usb-0:2.1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sdb It doesn't feature in the UUID directories. Now my fstab has /dev/nvme0n1* & /dev/sda*, but a UUIID for the external disk, so it isn't a disk crisis.
But on the PC is a failed webcam/mic that I'm replacing. The mic works only if you yell at it from 3 inches. The camera turns my pale sickly-looking self into a face painted red LED, with all background colours appropriately shaded. Now when I replace that camera, whether the usb microphone module continues to load for this split-personality device is a very open question.
What I'd like is some clever tricks or options to make sure the microphone works, and to nobble it as a disk.
