[Bug 1574079] Re: USB audio device is not recognized after startup in 16.04

Thu Jun 9 02:41:49 UTC 2016

I've uploaded that fix to yakkety, and started the SRU process for
Xenial.

** Also affects: fwupd (Ubuntu Yakkety)

+ Login to Ubuntu session and try to use a USB audio device.  See if it works properly.

  Hi @all,

  I used the same USB audio device in all previous Ubuntu versions
  (Focusrite Scarlet 2i2). It is supposed to be class compliant and works
  an all distros flawless (even RPI2 and OSMC). After upgrading from 15.10
  to 16.04 it stopped to work: after start-up it does not show up as an
  audio device at all (also not recognized by aplay -l). I can workaround
  this by unplugging it and plugging it in again after Ubuntu booted up
  (strangely 2 times unplug/re-plug). After 2nd time plugging it in again
  it shows up and works great without any further issues until next
  restart.

  Maybe worth to note that I recognized today that fwupd uses continuously
  100% CPU load, so I just killed it today. My Hardware (Main-board/CPU)
  is a bit older (Intel E8400), so could probably be some compatibility
  issue...

  regards,
  Tobias
