Hi, last time I used my Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (2nd Generation) with Linux all digital and analog outs worked without issues. I don't remember if all inputs work as well. IIRC all inputs also did their job, however, I need to check this, but at the moment I have got no time to do so.

I didn't test useless sample rates, so I don't know if other sample rates work as well. The mixer doesn't work, since it's used in class compliant mode. We know this before we buy the device, so actually I don't need the mixer. For hardware monitoring I would use a mixing console, let alone that latency is very low, so even software monitoring might be possible. The only drawback of the Focusrite IMO is the sound quality. It can't compare to professional audio devices, OTOH my RME card was much more expensive by providing less IOs, let alone that my RME HDSPe AIO doesn't work correctly with Linux, e.g. just 2 ADAT channels are accessible by jackd and the latency is not very good. Ardour can't access the RME card without jackd at all, so I must use jackd. Résumé: If the Focusrite doesn't work, much likely something is fishy with your Linux setup and/or the Focusrite. However, I never touched the mixer settings, I'm using it with the default mixer settings, less often with Linux, more often with iOS and usually I'm using the ADAT outputs and one of the weak lofi headphone outputs only.
