External USB Audio on Raspberry Pi 3

The rpi3 could see the USB audio device but not be able to enable it. The following errors were observed in dmesg:

[    4.214503] snd_bcm2835: unknown parameter 'index' ignored
[    4.470103] snd-usb-audio 1-1.2:1.0: cannot find the slot for index 0 (range 0-0), error: -16
[    4.470134] usb 1-1.2: cannot create card instance 0
[    4.470164] snd-usb-audio: probe of 1-1.2:1.0 failed with error -16
[    4.470823] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio

It looks like a conflict with the card index of the internal sound codec. Because I don't want to use the interval sound codec I just blacklisted the module to prevent it from loading by adding:

blacklist snd_bcm2835

To the configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/rpi-blacklist.conf
