Yes, I see the contradiction. Thanks for noticing it. Indeed, I have misremembered the forum post that prompted me to investigate the bug. In that forum post, the microphone actually worked, but the speakers didn't, because the device supports only multi-channel output. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54029 also talks about device that only supports multi-channel output. Anyway, even for stereo devices, there was a "Unable to find definition 'cards.USB-Audio.pcm.front:CARD=1'" error in the log and an unneeded fallback from front to hw. 2017-01-11 5:06 GMT+05:00 Tanu Kaskinen <tanuk at iki.fi>: > On Tue, 2017-01-10 at 04:35 +0500, Alexander E.
