OK thank you all for possible “workaround” and @agners for explanation

In the end, this is probably a device which is on the edge (or even violating) some USB specs. Depending on exact hardware configuration (USB host IP/type), and USB bus configuration (with/without hub(s)) things might just work, or just not work.

Home Assistant OS uses a rather vanilla upstream Linux kernel version 6.1 for the OS 10 and 11 series. So on the same hardware, with a operating system using the same kernel version, I’d expect the same issues in the end.

Possible that different kernel version lead to slightly different timing, but I don’t think there is a general fix we can come up with from HAOS side 😢

Removing the addon and reisntalling chosing the other USB connection method worked for me too!

same bug here on synology vm
