Re: Ultralite AVB

I use a high quality USB cable (Chroma Cable from DJTechTools), so I don't think that's a problem. I've also had the same issue with the USB cable that was shipped with the Ultralite AVB.

Re: Ultralite AVB

To clarify my use case: PC (onboard soundcard) spdif (i.e. kodi) -> spdif in@ultraliteAVB -> ultraliteAVB USB in (route) -> PC (jack/calf etc.) -> ultraliteAVB USB out (route) -> active speakers/subwoofer/headphone If you route the SPDIF input directly to the Ultralite AVB's output without going th...

Re: Motu Ultralite Mk4 -> any luck with web interface?

The web app of the Ultralite AVB is not accessible via USB either. My laptop only has one USB-A port, so I am working around both those limitations by connecting my Ultralite AVB's USB and Ethernet connections to a USB hub with a built in Ethernet NIC . If you can still return the Ultralite Mk4 to t...

Re: Ultralite AVB

Here is a recording of the crackling distortion. Musinux, can you listen to that and confirm that we are talking about the same issue?

Re: Ultralite AVB

I'm using the toslink-in as my main sound source (htpc). Internal/optical clock mode setting doesn't make a difference regarding the cracking sound. To be clear, you have the optical input routed directly to the Ultralite AVB's output without processing the optical input in your computer first? Are...

Re: Ultralite AVB

I recently got a new laptop that only has one USB-A port and no Ethernet port, so I got a USB hub with a built in NIC to access the web app on my Ultralite AVB by plugging in both its USB and Ethernet connections to the hub. I had to change the "IPv4 Method" in GNOME's network settings fro...

Re: Ultralite AVB

Aside from that, there is one really serious issue that I am wondering if anyone else has encountered. Occasionally when there are xruns, instead of hearing a normal momentary pop, I hear a horrible crackling noise that sounds somewhat like a bitcrusher effect mixed with the music. The original sig...

Re: Ultralite AVB

I have been using one of these for a few months now and have the same annoying issues with the sample rate and having to start JACK multiple times. Can anyone explain what is going on there? Is the issue the Ultralite AVB's hardware, firmware, or is it ALSA? Or is it an unfortunate quirk of how thos...

Re: Roland Rubix sound cards

Behringer makes bad sounding gear that breaks quickly. That's why it's so cheap.

Roland Rubix sound cards

I just found out about the new Roland Rubix 24 sound card. It's USB audio class compliant and all the functionality is controllable with knobs and switches on the hardware, so it should be fully compatible with Linux. I haven't heard one of these myself, but the specs look on par with the Focusrite ...

I have a few folks in another forum who have tested it with an android table. out of the box working. If you connect via usb it is only capable of 64 channe...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Second Generation

It seems the new Solo, 2i2, and 2i4 are class compliant considering they do not require a driver to be installed for Mac OS X, according to Focusrite's Getting Started document . The other ones don't seem to be available for sale yet and there are no downloads on Focusrite's website for them. Whethe...

Re: Future Linux audio hardware Interface support

Microsoft recently announced support of Thunderbolt 3 audio in Windows 10 , the latest generation of Intel chipsets are including Thunderbolt 3 support, and Thunderbolt 3 uses the same confusingly named USB-C connector as USB 3.1, so I think Thunderbolt 3 support will become standard on new laptops...

Re: RME Babyface Pro USB audio interface

On another forum, someone asked an RME rep if the dsp effects work in class compliant mode, and he replied they do not. The manual states likewise. That's why I didn't buy one. Considering most sound cards don't have any onboard DSP and the Babyface Pro sounds WAAAAY better than most sound cards, I...
