Terratec 6Fire DMX snd-usb-6fire 2-4:1.0: unable to receive device firmware state.

[flaep]

The external USB Audio Interface Terratec DMX 6Fire is not working.

Connecting it gives the following output in dmesg:

[ 652.274154] usb 2-4: USB disconnect, device number 5

I used an unaltered 20.04 live USB enviroment to rule out other packages I might have installed.

1) Release:
Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04

2) Version of package:
Not sure about that.
My guess is, that it is related to module snd-usb-6fire so here is the output of modinfo
