Is the PA breakage still seen in the very latest kernel? There have been a few issues due to the changes but they should have been already covered. Apart from that, the choice of implicit feedback was taken at the commit 5e35dc0338d8 in a few years ago for UFX1024. I don't remember the details, but judging from the lsusb output, the devices don't look like a typical device that requires the implicit feedback (that has usually ASYNC for both directions). So, as long as it's confirmed that the proper clock selector setup fixes the problem, we can drop the implicit feedback quirks. However, it's better to split the patches; one for the fix for the missing clock selector setup, another is the drop of the implciit fb quirk for Behringer devices. In anyway, let's see whether the fix works for others. Then we can go forward and apply the fixes to the upstream. thanks, Takashi > > Thank you, > Geraldo > > Em Sáb, 10 de abr de 2021 05:59, Takashi Iwai escreveu: > > On Sat, 10 Apr 2021 03:36:14 +0200, > Geraldo Nascimento wrote: > > > > More complete patch disabling unneeded implicit feedback and setting > > clock selector to default clock on rate change for UFX1604 > > > > After re-reading https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199327 it > > is even more clear to me that implicit feedback for the > > UFX1604/UFX1204 needs to be disabled. > > > > This is a more complete patch that disables that and for the UFX1604 > > only sets the clock selector to its pin 1 default clock synced to the > > USB SOF upon rate change.
