[PATCH 0/2] ALSA: usb-audio: Support for Feaulle Rainbow
From: Rong Zhang
Date: Wed Apr 08 2026 - 14:33:26 EST
Feaulle Rainbow is a wired USB-C dynamic in-ear monitor (IEM) featuring
active noise cancellation (ANC).
The supported sample rates are 48000Hz and 96000Hz at 16bit or 24bit,
but it does not support reading the current sample rate and results in
an error message printed to kmsg. Set QUIRK_FLAG_GET_SAMPLE_RATE to skip
the sample rate check.
Its playback mixer reports val = -15360/0/128. Setting -15360 (-60dB)
mutes the playback, so QUIRK_FLAG_MIXER_PLAYBACK_MIN_MUTE is needed.
Its Mic Capture Volume mixer is sticky (accepts SET_CUR but do
absolutely nothing). Registering it confuses userspace and results in
ineffective volume control.
Patch 1 adds a quirk table entry matching VID/PID=0x0e0b/0xfa01 and
applying the mentioned quirk flags, so that it can work properly.
Patch 2 checks if a volume control mixer is sticky by setting the volume
to the maximum or minimum value, and prevent the mixer from being
registered accordingly.
