Just like this thread (https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/4273), I'me having huge problems with USB Audio.
My Plantronics .Audio 995 USB headset disconnects after a while (funny that's usually when I launch an Android Studio project or a more heavy workload) with the message:
USB Sound assertion in /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AppleUSBAudio/AppleUSBAudio-301.52/AppleUSBAudioStream.cpp at line 2867
I have the remove the USB dongle and insert it again to have sound. This is huge mess with USB Audio, please fix it. El Capitan 10.11.1
