I can't tell what's happening with daphile. Maybe it's simply a matter of how much network activity or disk activity or graphics activity is going on at the time. (Of course, storing a usbmon trace creates some disk activity of its own...) You can check whether graphics is the issue by

I recently heard that USB audio works okay over USB-3 using xHCI controllers from NEC rather than Intel; see http://marc.info/?l=linux-usbm=139958150312402w=2 If you run lspci, it will show the manufacturers for the xHCI controllers in your system. -- You received this bug notification

You can find the correspondence between the PCI device list and the USB bus list by running grep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/serial In addition to the NEC controller, your listing includes two EHCI (i.e., USB-2) controllers; they are the ones with Enhanced in the description. Any of those

Just what I was going to suggest. Maybe you can find a true USB-2 card somewhere else. You can try building a kernel with the attached (untested) patch. It is a partial fix for a bug in the xHCI driver, and it might solve your problem on the USB-3 ports. ** Patch added: Partial fix for

Was this dmesg taken after you plugged the device into the add-on PCI card? It shows that the device is connected to a USB-3 port. That's the reason for your problems; the support in Linux for isochronous transfers over USB-3 is buggy. Try plugging the device into a USB-2 port instead. -- You

Have you tried an add-on PCI USB-2 card? (The lsusb output suggests you don't.) That's the combination most likely to work. If you can do that, attach the corresponding usbmon trace. If you don't have any USB-2 ports on the PCI card, attach a usbmon trace using a USB-2 port on the motherboard.

Printing the debug messages shouldn't slow down your system very much. However, the audio driver could indeed slow down your system when a delay occurs like this. If you want to check whether printing the debug messages slows down your system, all you have to do is change the system's printing
