Research direction

Reproduce the failure with arecord -D plughw:1 --duration=10 while using the Sennheiser GP350 and each reported mouse, then compare the linked raspinfo output with the affected USB and audio devices. No source file or test is identified in the issue; the investigation is complete when recording no longer prevents the affected mice from moving or clicking.

Description

Assigned for implementation/action

Hello,
Since the start, each time i activate the microphone on my headset, the mouse stop responding.

The problem occurs in any application that want to use the microphone. I've tested chromium, firefox, and arecord. Each time the microphone is used, the mouse stop responding immediatly.
As soon as i stop using the microphone, the mouse come back to life without any other problem

The mouse stay powered, the leds on it stay powered on, no dimming, no flickering
I also tried to connect the mouse to an external self powered usb hub to be sure and the matter is the same.

The headset is connected to the external usb hub too.
I tried to disable the button wich was detected by X11 as an input keyboard, without any difference.
The first mouse tested is a razer naga trinity.
The second mouse tested with the same matter is a logitech G502.
However, the problem doesn't occur with a Logitech M185

To reproduce

  • type command arecord -D plughw:1 --duration=10 to record something on the terminal.
  • Try to move the mouse and see it not moving anymore the cursor or responding to clicks

Expected behaviour
Use the microphone will still using the mouse

Actual behaviour
The mouse stop responding as soon as the microphone is activated to record something and come back to life when the microphone is not used anymore, or unplugged

System
Link to raspinfo output : http://paste.debian.net/1124592

I can give two more raspinfo with the two other mouse if needed.
