Re: Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd generation record only at 44,1 or 48 kHz

The first problem is that Linux does not support the Gen2 mixer interface in (used by alsamixer). The second problem is (like the Gen 1) is that the support misses something in the interface to set the sample rate (and several other settings). There should be a USB command supporting this that shoul...

Re: Beyond 16 channels with audio hardware interfaces

Thanks for the replies. Firewire is getting phased out and Thunderbolt isn't available on Linux. AVB/DANTE isn't there as well. Then there is the RMA MADI option , but expensive. Does anyone have a USB/MADI setup using for example te MADIFACE PRO USB or MADIFACE XT and then a MADI to ADAT convertor ...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Second Generation

Hi, if it works but the controls not show in alsamixer, then it looks to me Focusrte Gen 2 broke ALSA support , Just having audio only would be the same situation I had before the kernel was updated for for 18i20 support in the ALSA code. Guess FR created a new USB device ID and they may have change...

Focusrite Scarlett is not (Windows) USB Audio 2.0 Class compliant

Microsoft released a USB Audio 2.0 Class compliant driver. I my perception the Focusrite was class compliant because it worked on Linux, my main reason to buy it). So,tried this driver, but did not work. Now is the issue. The 18i20 is only USB class compliant with MAC. That seems to mean it meets Ap...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Second Generation

Hi guys, The Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 works on linux, BUT you can"t access the internal mixer. I don't know if it's an ALSA driver issue or an AlsaJsonGAteway / Mixer issue. Any helps would be really welcomed. Here are some links about this subject : https://focusritedevelopmentteam.wordpress....

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Second Generation

I worked with Fulup to make the 18i20 work, So yes, it works. (for 1st Gen). Definitely easier to use than ALSAMixer (but ALSA mixer works too if you know what knobs to change) but some argue a native Linux program would have been better. As stated above, I have problems with the rev 1 18i20 on 16.0...

Re: Future Linux audio hardware Interface support

If AVB does have comparable latency, I would prefer that. See an update from MOTU below for 192Khz at about 3msec latency. Another plus for AVB is to just have a web based mixer, no more Alsa-mixer or GUI development needed. Just the audio channels will do and the rest over HTTP. TB also may have a ...
