Re: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Disable quirks for BOSS Katana amplifiers

Keith - are you getting an implicit feedback endpoint created when you run
with the patch?

When I patched the GT-1 device ID into the quirk code, I ended up with no
implicit feedback endpoint created. Without running in implicit feedback
mode, I assume that you are relying on how well the clocks match. In my
case, my card's clock was a bit fast. If I hardcoded the sample rate in
'sound/usb/format.c' to 44105, my pops and crackles mostly went away - more
like every few minutes instead of every few seconds.

Maybe your card just has a clock closer to 44100? Or, as I said in my last
message, maybe something else has changed in the kernel since earlier this
year?
