Hi everybody,
Il just purchased a 3rd gen 18i8. I installed a fresh debian 11 bullseye on a laptop, installed a liquorix kernel (5.17) and created the /etc/modprobe.d/scarlett.conf to activate the new driver.
the driver is correctly loaded :
Code: Select all
$ sudo dmesg |grep -i scarlett
[ 5.575710] usb 3-10: Product: Scarlett 18i20 USB
[ 6.816407] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Scarlett Welcome Disk 0.10 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

[ 754.996431] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Scarlett Welcome Disk 0.10 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
However note :
- the presence of the disk (the device is in MSD mode, more on that later on)
- the fact that driver availability is signaled 3 times. I don't know if this is a problem or not ?
Problem : when running
all I see is :
- a selector for the clock source (which seems to work)
- a numeric field containing the value 00 on a green background above an "MSD mode" control. I guess its role is to stop the MSD mode but I don't know how to use it.
And that's all ! No other controls !
I suspect that I must disable the MSD mode in order to access to the full stack of controls. Is this correct ?
So second question : How do I disable this mode ? I tried the "hold the phantom power button for inputs 1-4 while disconnecting and then reconnecting the USB cable and then wait another 5 seconds" trick, without any success.
In its actual state, the device is unusable. when simply playing Nothings comes out from outputs 1-2.
I tested with jack and ardour : I routed the output of the master bus to output 1-2 : no signal. If I route it to 7-8 then I hear the sound in headphones connected to the first headphones input.
Thank you in advance for your help.
And thanks to geoffrey for the great job on this Driver (I use since 2 years a 6i6 2nd gen and it works perfectly, and I can route it internally without problem.
