Thank you, Chihhao.

So I was wrong about Samsung USBC Headset (AKG) with VID/PID
(0x04e8/0xa051) having a Clock Multiplier.

There are two Clock Sources, both linked to the USB SOF with fixed sample rate.

Plus two Clock Selectors which are host-programmable and can be set to
either of the two Clock Sources.


I'm still at a loss to explain what is going wrong here.

Would a printk() reveal the first explicit
uac_clock_selector_set_val() on the Clock Selector associated with
USB_IN sets Clock Source ID to pin 1 with Clock Source ID 0x9?

Or is it the other way around, i.e. it sets the Clock Source ID to pin
2 with Clock ID 0xA for the capture stream Clock Selector?


Chihhao Chen, could you please try the following patch for debugging
purposes and share what is printed in dmesg?

Please try one time with your fix applied and one time without, i.e.
with an otherwise unmodified vanilla kernel.

Thank you,
Geraldo Nascimento
