You seem hitting a firmware bug, and it doesn't look like the only
case. Interestingly, the backport of 5.11 USB-audio stuff on 5.3
kernel on openSUSE Leap 15.2 caused a similar bug on Steinberg device,
while it worked with 5.11-rc. So I thought this specific with the
older kernel (in USB core changes or such), but my guess seems wrong,
and the bug looks remaining in 5.11 for some cases.
Below is the fix patch. Please give it a try.
thanks,
Takashi

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: workaround for iface reset issue
The recently introduced sample rate validation code seems causing a
problem on some devices; namely, after performing this, the bus gets
screwed and it influences even on other USB devices.
As a quick workaround, perform it only for the necessary devices;
currently MOTU devices are known to need the valid altset checks, so
filter out other devices.
Fixes: 93db51d06b32 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Check valid altsetting at parsing rates for UAC2/3")
