Re: sound with Scarlett 3rd Gen device?

 Hi Iain,

no, I don't have a gen3. 

Is is USB Class compliant or does it come with specific hardware features?

If it does, maybe you can switch from "special" to "compliant" mode?

This worked for my RME babyface pro though.

Hope this helps...

Best

  Hi Christoph, I don't doubt for a minute that I'm doing something silly, but do you mean the monitor and headphone gain knobs on the front? Yes, they're both up. When I switch directly to windows, everything is working: pd (ASIO driver "via portaudio"), SuperCollider, Ardour, etc., but in Linux, silence....
  You have a 3rd gen interface? 

  Cheers,
  Iain

    Hi Iain,

 did you turn up the hardware volume?

 I had this problem. Someone truly evil turned it down, while I wasn't watching... ;-)

 BR,

      Dear Linux audio people,

 I have a Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen interface which I'm trying to use on a

 recent Samsung laptop with Ubuntu 19.04.

 The 3rd gen devices are apparently shipped in non-functional "MSD" mode,

 so I registered and activated the device using Windows 10 following the

 instructions on the Focusrite website. Tested it there with Ableton Live

 Lite (provided via registration of the device) and also Ardour. It works

 fine. To get it to work on Ardour it was necessary to use the ASIO

 driver in the Ardour audio configuration. I had removed ASIO4ALL before

 installing the Focusrite/Scarlett software as suggested, so perhaps this

 driver came with Focusrite install.

 Now with the device apparently configured and the routing done in

 Windows using the Focusrite Control software (i thinks that's the name,

 I had selected output channels 1 and 2 to connect with the

 monitors/headphone jack), I returned to Linux. The Scarlett device is

 detected by lsusb, qjackctl and pavucontrol. Jack runs with no errors

 when the Scarlett is selected as the i/o device and all the correct

 channels appear in the Connect window. No sound however is heard through

 the phone jack, nor if i plug the phones directly in to the output jacks

 at the back. I tested using VLC configured for Jack output and also with

 pd -jack.

 With jack turned off and with VLC audio out set to pulsaudio, I set the

 Scarlett 18i20 as the preferred device in pavucontrol. With VLC playing

 the output VU meter for the Scarlett is active in pavucontrol but there

 is still no sound coming out of the device itself.

 Has anyone managed to get a 3rd generation Scarlett to work on Linux?

 Can anyone suggest please what I can do?

 Thanks!

 Iain

 PS. i did see an unresolved thread on this list last year about a 3rd

 gen Scarlett. I'll send a message to the author to see if the problem

 was fixed.
