Passing Audio data (PCM 16 bit) to a USB audio device *not* from headphones

[Or]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a USB audio device (michrophone) and I cant seem to be able to call app_usbd_audio_class_tx_start() without getting NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE from time to time (sometimes it returns NRF_SUCCESS).

I've tried 2 things:
1. call it inside the callback passed to app_usbd_audio_sof_interrupt_register().
2. call it in the case block for APP_USBD_EVT_DRV_SOF.

I've searched google for any code that uses app_usbd_audio_class_tx_start() and I come empty handed. The only link where app_usbd_audio_class_tx_start() is used is in your USB audio device example which doesnt suit my needs since app_usbd_audio_class_tx_start() is called there inside a piggybacked SOF event generated for the headphones device.

Can you please provide an example on how to call app_usbd_audio_class_tx_start() reliably ? (something other than the example which has both headphones and mic)

An example that does something as simple as passing a sinusoidal wave generated in a timer will be great.

I wouldn't have asked for that if there was any example (other than yours) on how to use the USB audio device and I believe other developers will benefit from it as well.

Thanks

After debugging the SDK and checking why I get NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE when I call app_usbd_audio_class_tx_start() I found out that it is returned from inside the following if statement:

if (!nrf_drv_usbd_ep_enable_check(ep))
{
    return NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE;
}

inside the file "nRF5_SDK_15.3.0/components/libraries/usbd/app_usbd.c" inside function app_usbd_ep_transfer() (line 1820).

What can disable the endpoint ? why does it happen in the middle of using it ?

This case seems related to this:

I suggest to continue there.

Hi

i've the same porbem in nRF5_SDK_17,

I2S mic 16bit 48Khz stereo transferre to  USB AUIDO.

some time app_usbd_audio_class_tx_start() return code 17.
