I wasn't sure about the arguments or counting order of quirk_flags (some tidbits show it as hex, others as an array of booleans (?)) so tried a few different things. I have no other USB audio devices so didn't see a need to specify vendor or product ID while testing.

This option is passed per card instance, as the driver may hold
multiple cards.  Check your /proc/asound/cards.  The first argument of
quirk_flags is applied to the first USB-audio card, the second to the
second USB audio device, and so on.

At best, give alsa-info.sh output before and after applying the
quirk.  Run the script with --no-upload option and attach the
outputs.

And, as a reference, you can see the existing quirk tables in
sound/usb/quirks.c.
