When I tried this change earlier this year on the BOSS GT-1, it enabled sound output on the card (which was not previously working), but with significant issues. It resulted in frequent pops and crackles - presumably because of the loss of synchronization using implicit feedback. This was the fix that ended up working for me: https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2020-January/161951.html But maybe something else has changed in the handling of implicit feedback since then?
