Don't grasp at straws. All of the kernel logs Artem has posted show ehci-hcd; none of them show xhci-hcd. Therefore the xHCI controller is highly unlikely to be involved.

Yes, we need to trace the call chain and see at which point the trouble starts. What could help is tracing the google-chrome binary with strace maybe. At least we would see the ioctl command sequence, if the log file survives the crash. As the usb list is still in Cc: - Artem's lcpci dump shows that his machine features XHCI controllers. Can anyone think of a relation to this problem? And Artem, is there any way you boot your system on an older machine that only has EHCI ports? Thinking about it, I wonder whether the freeze in VBox and the crashes on native hardware have the same root cause. In that case, would it be possible to share that VBox image?

Ok, so that pretty much rules out the host controller. I just wonder why
I still don't see it here, and I haven't heard of any such problem from
anyone else.
Some more questions:
- Which version of Flash are you running?
- Does this also happen with Firefox?
- Does flash access the device directly or via PulseAudio?
- Could you please apply the attached patch and see what it spits out to
dmesg once Flash opens the device? It returns -EINVAL in the hw_params
callback to prevent the actual streaming. On my machine with Flash
11.4.31.110, I get values of 2/44800/1/32768/2048/0, which seems sane.
Or does your machine still crash before anything is written to the logs?

When exactly does the crash happen? Right after you selected that entry
from the list? There's a little recording level meter in that dialog.
Does that show any input from the microphone?

We'll see. Thanks for your help to sort this out!
