A few minutes ago I ordered new headphone cables, jacks etc. so I've taken the opportunity to speak to a technician from Reichelt, since I ordered the USB cable there, too. He doubts that the ferrite core dose cause issues. His guess is a "Monatgsproduktion" (bad produced cable), but actually removing the ferrite core solved the issues with the PreSonus. Btw. I'll return the Presonus 1818 VSL. I already ordered a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd Gen, less expensive at the moment https://www.thomann.de/de/focusrite_scarlett_18i20_2nd_gen.htm . Maybe it will work with Linux, as well as with an iPad. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
