Hi Christoph and list, reporting back: It seems the problems,
particularly on the laptop, are related to Ubuntu. Last night I
made a live USB stick of AV Linux. Booting from this both solves
the problem of the USB ports and produces glitch free audio (thus
far). I got ins and outs working with Pd + jack with frames/period
set to 64, sample rate 48hHz, and periods/buffer 3. Latency of
4msec, so I'm happy with that (Pd gave segmentation faults on
startup at lower frame rates). The Pd test (playing a tone and
monitoring mic input) did much better than it did on Windows
(portaudio/asio) where I still heard occasional glitches (don't
remember the latency value).
Christoph and others using the Scarlett, what Linux distributions
are you using?

mode?
I believe it is class compliant except for configuration
process. How would one "switch from special to compliant"?
I've heard of people having success using Wine to run Focusrite
Control, so I'll try this too.
All the best,
Iain

Hi Iain,
no, I don't have a gen3.
Is is USB Class compliant or does it come with specific hardware
features?
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.
