Hi,
I'm contacting you regarding a few issues with my Echo Audiofire 12. It
has the latest firmware (5.8). With a recent kernel (4.15.0-22-generic)
it is recognised by the OS but it works unreliably, leading to system
instability.
Please explain about your experiences which made you be unreliable and
feel instability to your system so that the others such as me can get them.
Here is the dmesg output:

In the beginning of packet streaming, your unit transfers packets with
invalid CIP header, as shown. But enough later it starts to transfer the
packet correctly. The above message is irrelevant to your issue.
It is also impossible to use as a system card, and alsamixer is unable
to set the volumes for the 12 channels, but here I'm probably doing
something wrong. If you want to improve support for the card, I can
cooperate, I have no coding skills unfor tunately.
ALSA fireworks driver adds no control element set in Linux system. This
is a design not to bring complexity into kernel stuffs. For control
feature to DSP on your unit, please use 'hinawa-fireworks-cui' in
'hinawa-utils'[1] with 'libhinawa'[2], or ffado-dbus-server/ffado-mixer[3].
