When I connect my PreSonus USB AudioBox 96 to my Ubuntu 18.04LTS desktop via USB2.0 port, dmesg shows the following errors in a loop:

I suspect the failure is at this line of the linux kernel.

The interface is intermittently available as an input source in alsamixer. It will be available for a few seconds, then disappear, reappear, etc. The device works fine on my Windows machine.

Does anyone have any advice for how to debug/resolve this issue?

I've included the output of lsusb -v below.

  • The interesting thing is that you get two different errors before the one you linked, first "cannot set freq 96000 (v2/v3)", and then "cannot get clock validity for id 5". It's possible the driver needs a quirk for your device. It's also possible a new kernel already has one, so upgrade to newest possible kernel and try again. If that doesn't help, I'd file a bug report with the developers of the sound usb modules, and see if they can develop a quirk code for your device.

  • The device repeatedly disconnects itself. I suspect that the firmware get confused by the Linux driver not behaving in exactly the same way as the Windows driver.

I had an almost identical problem in Mint 20. It was solved by plugging it into USB 3.0 instead of 2.0

As far as I know this is a driver trouble and can not be solved without code intervention. For example the trouble with Line6 products in LKLM:
