Not getting input to Ardour from Focusrite Scarlett 6i6
Updated to kernel 4.4 low latency. Alsa works in Audacity, but I can't get alsa to load in Ardour either. Tried setting up JACK as well with no luck. Tried killing all the processes before opening Ardour, but no input. I DO GET output, however.

Re: Not getting input to Ardour from Focusrite Scarlett 6i6
You get output with the 6i6 + alsa + ardour, but no input ??
My gut feeling says - wrong mixer setting in hardware/alsa or wrong mixer setting in ardour ..
Couple of things to try

- this is a long shot, but hey .. we're desperate .
Please note that if I do the thing below it does not give me any controls with my USB mixer but input/output still works fine- open a terminal
- type
Code: Select all
alsamixer
- press F6 to select the proper soundcard
- press F4 to select the Capture tab
look for any controls there
- try booting a live distro and see if it works there. Maybe avlinux or ubuntu studio
- If you happen to have a windows partition I'd check it in windows too, just to rule out any weird hardware problem
- Ardour has a forum, maybe ask for assistance there https://community.ardour.org/forums
(note, we already met in #ardour )
