Basti! Thanks for your answer. I already tried all that -- the USB didn't show up at in the system profiler. Finally I pulled out all USB connections and tried all over = working!!! The problem was a relatively new USB con to a JBL loudspeaker. I never thought USB could intefer with each other, but now I learned something new :-)
