I have not tried it on another GNU/Linux system yet. It does *not* 
happen with a Plantronics Blackwire 315.1 USB headset.

Unfortunately no. It is reproducible with Debian’s Linux kernel 6.7.9-2. 
But in the available logs I found a 6.8+ (“6.9-rc0”) boot with no such 
error messages, but I forgot to save them between reboots now, and lost 
them. Sorry.

Interesting. Thank you for the analysis.

Thank you. Please find the log attached with the patch applied on:
