usb_set_interface failed (-32)

[Tamas Papp]

I'm not sure, this may be a kernel issue as well.

Sometimes dmesg is full of this messages:

[31220.502547] 9:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-32)
[31220.503330] 9:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-32)

[31220.505955] 9:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-32)

[31220.506700] 9:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-32)

kern.log and syslog is filled up in minutes and no space left on the partition.

Unplugging the headset and back usually fixes the issue.
