[LAD] Linux Support for Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd Generation
I am trying to make a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (2nd Generation) work as a USB audio capture device with Linux. Using the most current Linux kernel without change (v4.12-rc6), Mic inputs 1 and 2 are successfully captured. However, no other inputs are heard. The Scarlett device also presents a very limited set of ALSA controls. exxothermic@exxothermic-BFC:~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1235:8201 Focusrite-Novation Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub exxothermic@exxothermic-BFC:~$ amixer -c 1 contents numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='ADAT Validity' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw--,values=1 : values=on numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Clock Source' ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw--,values=1,items=3 ; Item #0 'Internal' ; Item #1 'S/PDIF' ; Item #2 'ADAT' : values=0 numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Internal Validity' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw--,values=1 : values=on numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Validity' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw--,values=1 : values=on I modified sound/usb driver files mixer_quirks.c and mixer_scarlett.c to treat the Scarlett 2nd generation device the same way it handles the Scarlett 1st generation 0x1235:0x800c1st Generation 0x1235:0x82012nd Generation When checking with amixer, 228 controls are now listed, along with errors that prevent alsamixer from being used.

Re: [LAD] Linux Support for Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd Generation
Dear Lloyd, I have Scarlett 18i20, and it audio works works using Alsa, Jack and pulseaudio provided I use 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Higher rates do not work, also the mixer can not be accessed. Nevertheless I managed to record using the 8 analog input while monitoring the output. I'm using kubuntu 16.10, Linux 4.8.0-54-generic . Sadly I'm not a ALSA expert. > I am interested in any pointer to or information about how to configure and use this Scarlett 2nd Generation device. I actually configured nothing, it just worked (using 44.1 and 48 kHz). Still, it's annoying that the higher sampling rates do not work, and access to the mixer would also be nice. Best regards, Peter P.S. My private request at Focusrite only resulted in a response, saying hat they are not supporting Linux.

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.

I'm aware of your opinion, that the higher sampling rates are useless. However I disagree, not every application of an audio-interface deals with music recording. There's lots of fun stuff one can do, e.g. creating patterns on a water surface, using the device as a multi-channel oscilloscope, ..., (or trying to proof to your friends that it doesn't make a difference for music recording :) ). And the hardware monitors are nice if your recording during a rehearsal weekend and you want to be able to disconnect your laptop, still allowing rehearsal without having to change the wiring. I agree, that it's not necessary, however it is convenient in that situation. Latency is low enough to allow for software monitoring. > The only drawback of the Focusrite IMO is the sound quality. It can't > compare to professional audio devices, For me it's sufficient, however, if I'm going to extend my hardware I won't go with Focusrite, at the current level of support. In one of these post-sale polls I noted that I can't recommend it for Linux users and the response was simply that it's my fault, as the web page clearly says, that they are not supporting Linux. They don't want me as a customer, no problem for me. Best regards, Peter ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
