Description:

My USB DAC stopped working starting 5.11. I have tested on a few minor updates of different kernels:

- "linux-zen", 5.11.1, 5.11.10, 5.11.16
- "linux", 5.11.1, 5.11.10, 5.11.16

Revert back to 5.10 works, tested on 5.10.16.

I have also tried different ports on my laptop and dock as well.

One thing I noticed is, when the DAC connected to laptop on 5.11.x in a power cycle, directly rebooting laptop with a 5.10.x kernel is not enough to bring the DAC back alive, I have a separately power cycle itself before it starts working again.

And my dmesg of broken kernel is filled with:

[ 256.696027] usb 3-1.1.1: new high-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd

....

Lots of usb_set_interface failure, it changes port if I change the DAC port.

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Clearly an upstream issue. If still happening, please report upstream to the kernel folks.

I also tested on 5.12.4 also broken.

Dmesg log in 5.12.4 changed a bit:

And the last 4 lines would flood the message log

Hi, just wanted to add that I'm experiencing similar problems with my USB DAC on the latest kernel.
Like the OP I tested LTS 5.10 for comparison, and can confirm it works there.
My journalctl has these error messages mentioned above, "clock source 41 is not valid, cannot use".

I also came across a blog post which may be helpful; https://guillaumeplayground.net/teac-ud-503-ud-501-snd-usb-audio-patch/
Comment by Yuan Lin (lsyoyom) - Friday, 03 December 2021, 04:40 GMT
Still broken for me on 5.15.6. @Luke, are you able to use the patches mentioned by the URL to make it work?
Comment by Luke Z (lucidae) - Sunday, 26 December 2021, 09:35 GMT
@Yuan, I haven't tested the patch myself, compiling a custom kernel is a bit beyond my skill level.

Looking over Github's kernel commit history, I may have identified some changes relevant to this bug report;
