Hello,


The iFi Zen DAC 3, confirmed as a high-speed device, is failing to 
report its full capabilities via |aplay --dump-hw-params| (it hangs), 
and audio playback defaults to the |S16_LE| format in 
|/proc/asound/.../hw_params| even for 24-bit sources.

#

*Reproduction Steps:*

  *

    Disable PipeWire services (|systemctl --user stop ...|).

  *

    Run |aplay -D hw:X,Y --dump-hw-params| (Hangs).

  *

    Start 24-bit audio in Strawberry.

  *

    Output of |cat /proc/asound/.../hw_params| shows |format: S16_LE|.

#

*Key Diagnostic:* When forcing the format with |aplay -D hw:X,Y -f 
S32_LE ...|, the playback is successful and |hw_params| correctly shows 
|format: S32_LE|.

#

*Hardware ID:* ID 20b1:3009 XMOS Ltd ZEN DAC 3 (iFi Zen DAC 3)

Thanks in advance,
