Without the tweak, only error messages are:

kernel: usb 1-8: current rate 0 is different from the runtime rate 8000
kernel: usb 1-8: current rate 0 is different from the runtime rate 16000
kernel: usb 1-8: current rate 0 is different from the runtime rate 44100
kernel: usb 1-8: current rate 0 is different from the runtime rate 48000
kernel: usb 1-8: Warning! Unlikely big volume range (=4096), cval->res
is probably wrong.
kernel: usb 1-8: [3] FU [Mic Capture Volume] ch = 1, val = 0/4096/1

but recording from mic at any rate (8000, 16000, 44100, 48000) results
in an incomprehensible sound, like Minion voice.

With your patch 'ALSA: usb-audio: Disable sample read check if
firmware  doesn't give back' error messages have gone away, but result
is the same: Minion voice.

Thanks,
