Philix , I had some more thoughts... If you only need to deal with 2 channels of audio going to/from your interface, then it's easiest to use alsa-scarlett-gui to set up the first two channels (AUX0 and AUX1 in PipeWire) to route where you want. Then with the Pro Audio profile any non-pro app will ...

Hi Philix ! Congrats on your new Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen! I hope I can point you in the right direction! Regarding your mention of "use pro audio mode and jack" vs. "without pro audio mode and with alsa", it's essential to clarify that if you're using PipeWire, then you're always us...

Hi crustypants , @crustypants I'm pretty sure that anything dated 2014 is going to be gen 1: the gen 2 models came out (IIRC) in 2015. What model do you have? Just bought myself a 3rd Gen 8i6, and planning to sell the 1st gen 6i6. This should be supported right? It says something about mass storage ...

Hi Patrick, The hardware doesn't set the sample rate: rather, it uses (if supported) whatever rate is requested by the app / service which owns it (ALSA client, JACK or Pipewire daemon). Thank you for this clarification. Indeed, I never gave it a second thought about it when recording / playing back...

Oh my, here it is! The first (public) draft of the Scarlett 4th Gen kernel driver, ready (crossed fingers) for the brave to look at and/or test. https://github.com/geoffreybennett/scarlett-gen2/releases/tag/v6.5.11-g4.1 Along with that comes firmware update support for all Scarlett 2nd Gen+ and Clar...

Meanwhile I tried again with WINE and now at least the software starts up. But it dos not find the interface. It obviously relies on some feature not translated by WINE or the USB interface is locked by the system. I think, if anybody had been able to get it working, we would know it by now. :roll:...

It's getting close to done! And there's a lot there! $ git show upstream:sound/usb/mixer_scarlett2.c | wc -l 4549 $ git show scarlett-gen4:sound/usb/mixer_scarlett2.c | wc -l 7065 $ cat 0000-cover-letter.patch Geoffrey D.

But really - how complicated can it be to port a windows GUI for the device settings to Linux? :cry: It can be pretty complicated. Trust me on that one! ;) If I have to get rid of this thing, does anybody recommend some equally good replacement, that will not cost a fortune? I will at least need tw...

Hey, i just wanted to chip in: I'm also looking for Debian support for my Scarlett 18i20 Gen1; so i'm basically in the same spot as Musicmaker: Looking at the code (even with the help of my new LLM friends), but not understanding enough of it to have a serious go. I won't give up yet, but i thought...

Hey @geoffrey, on the search for a new, linux compatible audiointerface, i found this thread! Im a RME Fanboy, but after reading this stuff i will leave my Babyface (the old one) behind and buy myself a Focusrite Scarlett Gen 4 4i4 and enjoy more then 2 ins and outs, a mixer, updates, etc under Lin...

Time for another status update... Driver updates accepted into Linux 6.7: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/878r7gjlbw.wl-tiwai@suse.de/ Enabled by default! No need for device_setup=1 (can use device_setup=4 to disable in case that's needed) Support for all Clarett USB & Clarett+ interfaces Level Met...

Hi FlowerEssenZzz , Hello Geoffrey, can't congratulate you enough for your tremendous work on Focusrite interfaces! Thank you :). ...Hence my question: Is there any hope for Thunderbolt Clarett interfaces? I am the owner of a 4Pre TB2 (connected to a mac mini thanks to the apple tb2/tb3 converter), ...

The Clarett USB/Clarett+ support made it in to Linux 6.7:

Hi there, I just got my 4i4 3rd gen today and it does work OOTB but not with the driver enabled via options snd_usb_audio vid=0x1235 pid=0x8212 device_setup=1 dmesg shows everything setup correctly but aplay, alsamixer, pulseaudio and alsa-scarlett-gui can't see the device. Without the modprobe con...
