Bill, you're right, it's 24 bits. I was so happy to hear that Matt's us428 was
working that I confused the numbers with the manual in front of me!
My apologizes.

The arecord default bitrate is U8 (8kHz, not avaible with my device) so,
with the option '-f cd' I've 'forced' (sorry for my bad English language
knowledge)alsa to use a bitrate supported (44,1kHz/16bits).

These are the results:

(seems there are 3 devices:

hw:2,2 - maybe all inputs A/B/C/D
but...)

With the patch (I'm still fighting with this, I'm just a beginner) in Jackd
seems working, at least for Matt, but, in my opinion, should work also with
arecord alone (maybe with separate inputs, A/B or C/D).
Why not?

Thanks.

-----------------
Lee, yes, I run:
modprobe snd-usb-usx2y nrpacks=1
not sure if this needs 'index=1', too.

With jackd I'm in trouble installing the patch.

Thanks.
