Hi Ralf,

thanks for your reply. Yes I have tried changing the USB ports, but there was no improvement. My system has both USB2 and USB3 ports so by switching I was also switching controllers.

I have tested with plain ALSA, with S16_LE and S32_LE PCM sample formats, as well as direct digital streams using the DSD_U16_LE, DSD_U32_LE formats. The problem isn't resolved with any one of them, so it must be isolated to one or a combination of the snd-usb-audio kernel module, alsa-lib itself, or some issue with the device itself.

When you were using "plain ALSA" did you:

1. Disable Pulse and Pipewire access to the device?

2. Use the "hw" and "plughw" devices?

Here are the audio streams available on the FiiO K5Pro. Perhaps there's a clue there as to what parameters I might try to tune next.

Hi,

did you test different USB ports?

I'm in favour of using plain ALSA or jackd. For testing purpose don't
use a sound server, test with plain ALSA.

Ralf
