ALSA: usb-audio: Exclude Scarlett 2i4 1st Gen from SKIP_IFACE_SETUP

[ Upstream commit 990a8b0732cf899d4a0f847b0a67efeb9a384c82 ] Same issue that the Scarlett 2i2 1st Gen had: QUIRK_FLAG_SKIP_IFACE_SETUP causes distorted/flanging audio on the Scarlett 2i4 1st Gen (1235:800a).

ALSA: usb-audio: Exclude Scarlett 2i2 1st Gen from SKIP_IFACE_SETUP

2026-04-02T11:23:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8780f561f6717dec52351251881bff79e960eb46 ] The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 1st Gen (1235:8006) produces distorted/silent audio when QUIRK_FLAG_SKIP_IFACE_SETUP is active, as that flag causes the feedback format to be detected as 17.15 instead of 16.16. Add a DEVICE_FLG entry for this device before the Focusrite VENDOR_FLG entry so that it gets no quirk flags, overriding the vendor-wide SKIP_IFACE_SETUP. This device doesn't have the internal mixer, Air, or Safe modes that the quirk was designed to protect.

ALSA: usb-audio: Improve Focusrite sample rate filtering

2026-03-19T15:08:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 24d2d3c5f94007a5a0554065ab7349bb69e28bcb ] Replace the bLength == 10 max_rate check in focusrite_valid_sample_rate() with filtering that also examines the bmControls VAL_ALT_SETTINGS bit. When VAL_ALT_SETTINGS is readable, the device uses strict per-altsetting rate filtering (only the highest rate pair for that altsetting is valid). When it is not readable, all rates up to max_rate are valid. For devices without the bLength == 10 Format Type descriptor extension but with VAL_ALT_SETTINGS readable and multiple altsettings (only seen in Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen playback), fall back to the Focusrite convention: alt 1 = 48kHz, alt 2 = 96kHz, alt 3 = 192kHz. This produces correct rate tables for all tested Focusrite devices (all Scarlett 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Gen, Clarett+, and Vocaster) using only USB descriptors, allowing QUIRK_FLAG_VALIDATE_RATES to be removed for Focusrite in the next commit.

ALSA: usb-audio: Check endpoint numbers at parsing Scarlett2 mixer interfaces

2026-03-19T15:08:22+00:00

commit df1d8abf36ca3681c21a6809eaa9a1e01ef897a6 upstream. The Scarlett2 mixer quirk in USB-audio driver may hit a NULL dereference when a malformed USB descriptor is passed, since it assumes the presence of an endpoint in the parsed interface in scarlett2_find_fc_interface(), as reported by fuzzer. For avoiding the NULL dereference, just add the sanity check of bNumEndpoints and skip the invalid interface.

ALSA: usb-audio: Check max frame size for implicit feedback mode, too

2026-03-19T15:08:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7cb2a5422f5bbdf1cf32eae0eda41000485b9346 ] When the packet sizes are taken from the capture stream in the implicit feedback mode, the sizes might be larger than the upper boundary defined by the descriptor. As already done for other transfer modes, we have to cap the sizes accordingly at sending, otherwise this would lead to an error in USB core at submission of URBs.

ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid implicit feedback mode on DIYINHK USB Audio 2.0

2026-03-19T15:08:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit c5bf24c8aba1ff711226ee0f039ff01a5754692b ] Although DIYINHK USB Audio 2.0 (ID 20b1:2009) shows the implicit feedback source for the capture stream, this would cause several problems for the playback. Namely, the device can get wMaxPackSize 1024 for 24/32 bit format with 6 channels, and when a high sample rate like 352.8kHz or 384kHz is played, the packet size overflows the max limit. Also, the device has another two playback altsets, and those aren't properly handled with the implicit feedback. Since the device has been working well even before introducing the implicit feedback, we can assume that it works fine in the async mode. This patch adds the explicit skip of the implicit fb detection to make the playback running in the async mode.

ALSA: usb-audio: Use correct version for UAC3 header validation

2026-03-12T11:09:38+00:00

commit 54f9d645a5453d0bfece0c465d34aaf072ea99fa upstream. The entry of the validators table for UAC3 AC header descriptor is defined with the wrong protocol version UAC_VERSION_2, while it should have been UAC_VERSION_3. This results in the validator never matching for actual UAC3 devices (protocol == UAC_VERSION_3), causing their header descriptors to bypass validation entirely. A malicious USB device presenting a truncated UAC3 header could exploit this to cause out-of-bounds reads when the driver later accesses unvalidated descriptor fields. The bug was introduced in the same commit as the recently fixed UAC3 feature unit sub-type typo, and appears to be from the same copy-paste error when the UAC3 section was created from the UAC2 section.

ALSA: usb-audio: Cap the packet size pre-calculations

2026-03-12T11:09:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7fe8dec3f628e9779f1631576f8e693370050348 ] We calculate the possible packet sizes beforehand for adaptive and synchronous endpoints, but we didn't take care of the max frame size for those pre-calculated values. When a device or a bus limits the packet size, a high sample rate or a high number of channels may lead to the packet sizes that are larger than the given limit, which results in an error from the USB core at submitting URBs. As a simple workaround, just add the sanity checks of pre-calculated packet sizes to have the upper boundary of ep->maxframesize.
