Public bug reported: Logitech AK5370 USB microphone works for a few seconds, then go mute, as seen from PAVU.
Unplugging and repluging will cause the mic to be recognized again for a few seconds. This is new behavior, although I recall similar problem years ago. ~$ lsusb Bus 004 Device 002: ID 1532:0012 Razer USA, Ltd Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0556:0001 Asahi Kasei Microsystems Co., Ltd AK5370 I/F A/D Converter Bus 005 Device 002: ID 04ca:002a Lite-On Technology Corp.
