Hello. Maybe following is helpful information.
I also have a Grabster AV 350 MX. I used this 350 yesterday for the first time under Linux "ubuntu 16.04 LTS" (Kernel version: oliver:~$ uname -srm Linux 4.4.0-186-generic x86_64). And the grabbing of a 30 second clip (until now I was not able to grab longer videos) is working with mencoder: oliver:~$ mencoder MEncoder 1.2.1 (Debian), built with gcc-5.4.0 (C) 2000-2016 MPlayer Team Without using the in the above "Bug Description" stated WORKAROUND. And both video and audio are OK. For details, I would ask you to see https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic /video-grabber-terratec-grabster-av-350-ohne-to/#post-9179871 Regards Oliver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998143 Title: em28xx incorrectly sets Terratec Grabster AV350MX resulting in no sound - Workaround provided Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When using Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit, kernel 3.2.0-24 with my Terratec Grabster AV350MX plugged into USB, the wrong settings are applied, allowing only a video picture with no sound via mplayer, vlc, and arecord. I verified that the error still exists in kernel 3.4.0-rc6. WORKAROUND: Insert Grabster and leave inserted.

Also, in the kernel driver file em28xx.h the former is card#68, while the latter is card#67. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
