That sounds like a good test. I'm building it with the patch you posted earlier today, except pertaining to my Roland Boutique D-05 ID. It will take a while before I have the result, though. Also, that "snd_usb_audio.dyndbg=+p" is just a kernel boot (not build) option, correct?: I hope so, or I'll have to start the build over yet again. ;) On Wed, Apr 7, 2021 at 9:48 PM Mike Oliphant <oliphant@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Geraldo - I had the same thought and I have tried enabling playback > feedback while turning off capture feedback without my endpoint patch.
