Roland VT-4 stuck on high gain

I got this unit mainly for karaoke but I thought I'd see how it performs as a USB audio interface.

I'm using Ardour and managing the connections in Catia.

The problem is, it's stuck on maximum gain. Reducing the mic sens helps but then I can't hear the effects. I've adjusted the faders, added a limiter, reduced the volume on the device itself to no avail. Straight into the red even at a fair distance from the mic.

Anyone have any experience with this, or suggestions?

As an aside - here's an early version of a song https://soundcloud.com/gobackww/6-to-1 I was hoping to use the vocoder-robot voice in.

Hello, found something here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/roland-vt-4 ... nput/85674

So apparently the device gets recognized but the channels are wrong and hard to configure. Could you post the output of aplay -l with the device attached?
