Motu 8.pre alsa driver for linux

Post by babuz87 »

Hy, Is there any generic alsa driver for Linux that permits to use the motu 8 pre usb as the main sound card? I use ubuntu studio to make video and music. My studio monitor are connected to the motu Soundcard. Sometimes I use ardour to record. Thanks

From what I saw, Motu doesn't list it as class compliant or iOS compatible. There is a download for "drivers and software" for Mac, which suggests it probably isn't. ALSA drivers are built into the kernel, so if it isn't working out of the box with a recent kernel, it will probably never will function on Linux.
