Roland Boutique USB audio

Post by martibs »

Has anyone been able to get audio over USB from the Boutique range of synths from Roland working? I have the SH-01A and JU-06A, and MIDI over USB is working for both of them. The devices also show up as audio sources in Pipewire, but I do not get any sound from them.

Not sure about those particular devices, what kernel are you using? It seems a few USB device drivers are working better in 6.13 but I don't know all the details.

Dunno if this is related but for example on a Roland System 8 I couldn't get it to work at samplerates other than 96K. (Perhaps it needs a kernel quirk to make it work at other samplerates and nobody's written one.)

Pipewire's set to 48K by default.

Something to try, try changing the samplerate, or disable / stop Pipewire and test it with jack at 96K and see if that works
