But from the description Chihhao Chen gave in the original message, I'm *guessing* the Clock Source for the Samsung USB Headset (AKG) runs at 48000hz and that we'd see a 2x Clock Multiplier in the lsusb -v This is all a wild guess, without the lsusb -v it's impossible to be sure, but if I'm right then the valid setting for the Microphone's Clock Selector is the Clock Multiplier, not the Clock Source, which, remember, runs at half the clock, hence why Chihhao Chen sees half the data rate for USB IN. Unfortunately our kernel code presently *does* always set the Clock Selector to the Clock Source, which is a bad assumption to make in my humble opinion. The only valid case for setting the Clock Selector to the Clock Source is when there's precisely one Clock Selector, precisely one Clock Source and no Clock Multipliers. In that special case we may be able to touch the setting of the only Clock Selector to match the only Clock Source. And, frankly, the only reason we're forced to do that explicitly is because some Behringer gear (Archwave AG DACs) gets confused and seems to somehow keep the old rate on the Clock Selector upon sample rate change.
