Re: JACK, Qjackctl, and ffado

Thanks.

That basically means the ff800 is pretty useless without ffado. Controlling the matrix and onboard mixer and the rest of the features are a necessity usually. If the latency is far worse, it is a deal breaker in itself.

With current kernels, the Fireface 800 is supported by the ALSA drivers,
but no controls are exposed (through ffado-mixer you get full control
though) and it's also not possible to run it equally well as with FFADO
(e.g. only 512 frames, instead of 64 frames @48kHz).

This at least was my experience on a 5.0.7 Linux kernel, so I had to
blacklist the snd-fireface driver (otherwise you get very weird errors,
if you don't expect it ;-) ).
With no hardmix control and higher latencies, for that device the ALSA
driver doesn't seem to be a great solution (yet). FFADO works great
though.
