Title:
xhci-hda does not support isochronous streaming on usb 2.0 devices
Status in Ubuntu Studio:
New
Status in “linux-lowlatency” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a Presonus AudioBox 1818VSL (usb audio interface,) which was
working flawlessly for about 2 years on ubuntu 12.04. I bought a new
computer with usb 3 ports and installed 14.04, and suddenly the audio
is popping and crackling. The computer is loading the 1818vsl as a usb
3 device using xchi-hda even though it's a usb 2 device and should use
ehci-hda. From what I understand on this thread, this is a problem
that affects other usb audio interfaces as well:

I found other users in the forums having this problem. Since xchi-hda
is prebaked into the kernel, the only workarounds are
1. Disable usb 3 in BIOS or
2. If you don't have that option in BIOS, compile a new kernel with xchi-hda and ehci-hda enabled as modules and then blacklist xhci-hda.
These shouldn't be the only options for Ubuntu users!
My proposal is build xhci-hda as a module in the default Ubuntu kernel
so that the affected users can blacklist it without having to compile
an entirely new kernel. There are very few usb 3 devices at the moment
anyways, and this should have very little effect on performance for
other users.
