Re: Hardware Soundcard - MOTU 624 AVB Working with Gnu/Linux - Debian 8.7

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello.

According to the manual :

https://s3.amazonaws.com/motu-www-data/manuals/avb/624_User_Guide.pdf

Page 45.

Do you run any optical device ? Or a outside clock device to sync with ?


The only «problems» i have with the MOTU 624 AVB with Gnu/Linux (Debian 8.7 and 9) are :

Got 1 Xrun per Hour, not matter what i do, even if i do nothing with the computer. If i change the Buffer size, sometimes called frames/period, the lower i set it the more i get Xrun without doing nothing with the computer. I guess it's a USB3 (never tested USB2) problem with either my motherboard - not a new one - or Alsa.... Latency is not a problem for what i'm doing, as i also have with the MOTU 624 AVB the routing grid that allow to have direct monitoring.

Other thing :
If i set the Sampling Rate in the MOTU 624 AVB's web interface, to 192000, all the «From Computer» (1 2 3 ...) disappear, thus no sound from anything played from computer. Never investigate further this point as i do not know why i would use 192000 sampling rate...

Cheers !

Hi guys, I think I found the cause of these tiny clicks.
Messing around with clock mode I discovered that changing the clock mode affects the rate of these clicks. Choosing ltc or optical mode then back to
internal..They stop for a while and then start again.
If you have any ideas I 'd appreciate a lot.
Cheers

Hi.
Yes the firmware is v1.3.2+102 (520 is for the avb)
I don't know either what the bios menu is doing. I can only find bios if I
press the select button from my interface and shows some info,nothing
more.

If you test it one day please let me know if you also have this (minor)
issue.

Have nice holidays. Cheers!

Hello.

I am away from my computer with the MOTU 624 AVB for the holidays. I'll
make a try when i'll be back.

But i've just checked the firmware pages of MOTU's web site and :

v1.3.2+520 (Release Date 2017-12-13)

A new one as been added few days ago. I've never tried this one.
Is the the firmware you running your card with ?

The change log says :

Added Bios menu

Hmm i'm really wonder what it does, and if it break anything with
Gnu/Linux Os.

Cheers !

Hello thank you for the reply.
The clicks are periodic.well,not strictly periodic but almost every two
seconds. I have tried your suggestions but didn't change something.

What I have also discovered is that the clicks are not passing through
my
software. Testing a sine wave and using a spectrum analysis in real
time,
sndpeek, clicks don't show up there. It seems they are coming directly
to my
monitors (headphones)

Thanks a lot

never stop.

If these are random clicks, that sounds like sync issues. Some things
to
try:
 	- set pulse default and alternate sample rate to 48000
 	- turn off HDA audio either in bios or in pulse:
 		pactl unload-module module-udev-detect
 		pactl unload-module module-alsa-card
 		(note that if pulse can see any audio card directly,
 		it may choose to sync from that one even if you are
 		not using it)
 	- try different sample rates, in particular both 44100 and
 		48000. It may be that alsa is under the impression
 		it can set sample rate when that is not the case.

I have not seen in this thread any meantion of the web interface that
the
motu AVB series interfaces normally have, so I am guessing this is not
one
of these boxes. Motu's support in the past with Linux has be
notoriously
bad until the AVB series, so you may have something that will not work with Linux properly... as in, it is USB2.0 compliant so far as sound transfer is concerned, but expects a provided blob to do device setup.
The
AVB series uses a web based setup tool that is OS agnostic.
