Re: Fundraiser: Expediting Linux Support for Focusrite Scarlett 4th Gen Devices

More progress this weekend: Decoded almost the entirety (🤞) of the Solo, 2i2, and 4i4 Gen 4 protocol, including how to turn on/off MSD mode (this was a bit of an achievement — Focusrite support says you can't turn it back on once you've turned it off, but that's not true 😉) Added support for the Cla...

Re: Focusrite Clarett/Clarett+ USB Linux support

> Anyone with a Clarett+ 4Pre, please try the kernel at https://github.com/geoffreybennett/scarlett-gen2/releases/tag/v6.5.3c1 — if I get good feedback on that then I will submit upstream and we can have 4Pre support in the mainline kernel. That's amazing, kudos! I have a Clarett+ 2Pre—is there any...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Gen 3 4i4 (and others)

I forgot to say this before: in the "other exciting news category", the mixer driver for the Scarlett Gen 2/3 and Clarett interfaces will be enabled by default in an upcoming kernel release (not 6.6 which is already in 6.6-rc2, but 6.7 I guess). https://mailman.alsa-project.org/hyperkitty/...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Gen 3 4i4 (and others)

Absolutely, thank you for spending your time providing this service to the community doing a job the company should be doing. I do have a small favor to ask, when working on the 4pre if you happen to figure out how to get computer audio out of the Device (it shows up as an audio output in both Linu...

Re: Fundraiser: Expediting Linux Support for Focusrite Scarlett 4th Gen Devices

Exciting news ×2 today: I've plugged the 4i4 in, put Focusrite Control 2 in a VM, connected the two together, and spent the weekend looking at pages of hex codes like this while playing with the controls to see what happens. It's good news! :). I've found that the Gen 4 protocol uses (at least mostl...

Now the hard work begins! Once I've got some progress to share, I'll create a Gen 4 thread in the Computer Related Hardware subforum. Any further funds raised will go towards getting a Gen 4 Solo next, then to the Vocaster One and Two, then to the 2Pre and 4Pre Claretts. Thank you all again for your...
