Yes.  They ought to show in dmesg when the module is loaded and the device 
probed.  Sometimes they also show if you run modprobe with -v and the debug 
module parameter is switched to verbose (only some modules have this 
parameter).

They also show conveniently under alsa-info (since we're talking here about a 
sound module):

!!Module: snd_usb_audio
        async_unlink : Y
        device_setup : 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
        enable : Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y  

(this is the array we were talking about and it is enabled)

        id : (null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null)
        ignore_ctl_error : N

(this is the ignore ctl error and is not ignored, so you could switch this to 
yes and see if it makes a difference)

        index : -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1
        nrpacks : 8
        pid : -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1
        vid : -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1

Ideally, you should not need to tweak anything to be honest.  This mechanism 
is to tune some modules in case there are conflicts between devices, or you 
want to switch on a hardware functionality which may be switched off by 
default (e.g. QoS, debugging, etc).
