Thank you for not mentioning this message on alsa-devel.

In the context of USB, the error code -75 means "babble", which is
a technical term from the USB specification that means that the device
sent some data at a time when it shouldn't (or at least the controller
thinks so).

As a result of that, the USB controller driver gets wedged.


This looks like a hardware problem with your USB controller.  Please try
the latest kernel; there were added some workarounds recently.

You might also try connecting the device through a hub (but there are
some bugs in the EHCI driver which might make it think that it cannot
schedule enough bandwidth for full duplex).

No, this has nothing to do with USB.  This message typically occurs on
AMD system with C1E enabled, and is harmless.
