I have a laptop and USB DAC that causes me problems with distorted / crackly sound when plugged into a USB-2 port and works fine in a USB-3 port. This has been the case so far with 3.2, 3.8 and 3.11 kernels. The DAC seems to work fine with other computers in the household running the same kernels.
I'm running Archlinux 64bit, with 3.10.27 LTS (I tested 3.10.20 too, maybe I should give 21 to 26 a try too, but dunno if it's kernel related...)Rutger,I thank you, I now have hope that mine will work :) (yep, it's a Teac UD-H01).
I do not have pulseaudio. I play directly from aplay or mpd.I do not know if a .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf config file is needed, I have tried many with no fix.I'm using the latest version of alsa (1.27.2 iirc).
I play only 16bits files (all my music is lossless), 44.1KHzIf you have an alsa config file, could you paste it please ?I've had a look at the thread you speak about, that's how I knew that the Teac can work at 16/44.1 but there are no explanations of the configuration to set in order to make it work... Hope you understand what I mean.
First of all, gonna install Fedora 18 with the same kernel as you and disable pulse, then use aplay, and I will know if it's ok.

Therefore I have concluded in my case at least it is something not correctly managed in the USB-2 port on the one laptop. Fortunately, since everything works fine on the USB-3 ports in the machine in question, I am OK with all of this.
Can you try your DAC on some other machine? Can you install a different USB setup in your current machine?
