Hi,

Is this device connected directly to the computer or via a USB HUB?

Can you show all USB devices on this computer?

I suspect your device is connected via USB High-speed HUB and I think 
the payload per millisecond is a bit too much for the so-called 
High-Speed to Full-Speed transaction translator configuration FreeBSD is 
using. You need to connect the device directly to an XHCI, UHCI or OHCI 
controller for it work properly.

The following define can be increased by 1, to get more bandwidth for 
periodic data, but will reduce the bandwidth for non-periodic data.

sys/dev/usb/usb_freebsd.h:#define	USB_FS_ISOC_UFRAME_MAX 4

If you are using multi channel audio equipment with 24-bits, try to 
avoid FULL-speed ones!
