Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 (no sound)

Post by juancho »

Hi all, I am totally nob, never used a digital audio interface before. Just bought a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 to plug some synths but after a few days struggling I have not been able to get any sound out of it on my Manjaro XFCE.

The device shows up on volume control, but it is "silent". On Alsamixer I see there are 4 lines enabled and their volume all the way up (headphones 1R, 1L, 2R, 2L), everything else is silent. I see no monitor controls there. Tried ALSA Scarlett Gen 2/3 Control Panel gui with no results either.

I must be doing stupid. This is very frustrating, that thing it costed me a kidney!

I appreciate any help.
