Dropping by briefly for an update on HDMI to USB things. First, properly fixed MS2109 audio was merged to the kernel earlier, both fixing the regression I introduced with the prior patch, and putting the channels in the right order (turns out the problem was more subtle).

Also I dropped in the quirk to make audio work on the Pioneer DDJ-RB DJ controller (that story from a year ago...) while I was submitting patches to the ALSA maintainers.

And now, this thing, which I bought a while ago but hadn't looked at yet: TL;DR it's crap. Fake USB3.0 (connector & cable, but not internals). MJPEG only. And it *craps out* if the frame is too complex (gives up, refuses to stream), probably fixed qp MJPEG exceeding bandwidth?pic.twitter.com/JjfJKuUykh

It does seem to stream 1080p unblurred unlike the MS2109, when it works (plenty of MJPEG artifacts though), but you're much better off getting a real USB3.0 unit. Internal topology is HDMI splitter -> Sil9293 -> FIC7618 (blacktopped as TC1860, but I was able to scrape it off)

FWIW here is the real USB3.0 unit that I paid *less* for than the fake one:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001044872081.html …

Replying to @marcan42
You probably already know this but there is already a unit that looks just like it that is MS2109 based: https://aliexpress.com/item/4001172230768.html … Basically, if the price is too good to be true, it probably is

That one says USB2.0 based in the description, so they aren't lying.
