Did you see that on the Ardour forums someone posted a link to a very good page specific to that interface? https://alsa.opensrc.org/Edirol_UA-25EX It seems that interface has two different modes of operation, basic (USB audio class 1.0) and advanced (seems to be proprietary, not fully USB audio 2.0 class compliant), and has hardware controls to set sample rate. That page also claims that alsamixer cannot control any of the hardware parameters of the device. There is output from the CLI version of alsamixer showing that there are no controllable parameters on the device, not sure why whatever tool you used did not display a similar message. What sample rate are you using? At 96k the device can only operate as input or output, not both at the same time. 44.1k and 48k support full duplex (in and out at the same time) at 24 bit sample size. Basic mode (usb audio class 1 compliant) supports only 16 bit sample length. It appears from that page that the best recommendation would be advance mode and either 44100 or 48000 sample rate. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
