Hello, list, I hope this is the right place to post this problem. Changes introduced in 5.4.11 (seemingly, in drivers/usb/core/config.c) cause problems with at least some models of USB sound cards. I have a Sound Devices USBPre2, a high quality sound card that until 5.4.10 always worked perfectly out of the box as a standard USB audio device. Beginning with 5.4.11 and up to 5.5.0, when the sound card is connected, dmesg shows: [ 1310.743135] usb 3-10.3: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd [ 1310.755472] usb 3-10.3: config 1 interface 2 altsetting 1 has a duplicate endpoint with address 0x85, skipping [ 1310.755474] usb 3-10.3: config 1 interface 2 altsetting 2 has a duplicate endpoint with address 0x85, skipping [ 1310.755852] usb 3-10.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0926, idProduct=0202, bcdDevice= 1.00 [ 1310.755853] usb 3-10.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1310.755854] usb 3-10.3: Product: USBPre2 [ 1310.755855] usb 3-10.3: Manufacturer: Sound Devices [ 1310.755855] usb 3-10.3: SerialNumber: HB1116132005 [ 1310.756803] usb 3-10.3: 1:3 : UAC_AS_GENERAL descriptor not found [ 1310.757550] hid-generic 0003:0926:0202.0005: hiddev96: USB HID v1.01 Device [Sound Devices USBPre2] on usb-0000:00:14.0-10.3/input3 [ 1310.773161] systemd-udevd[3856]: controlC0: Process '/usr/sbin/alsactl restore 0' failed with exit code 99.
