According to Focusrite the same will also work for the 8i6 -- but I lost interest in Focusrite devices for various reasons. Short of patching the alsa kernel driver or using another OS to change device config, you can use https://github.com/x42/scarlettmixer to change the config on GNU/Linux. It's not a ready-to-use app, however: 1) rmmod snd_usb_audio # so that python script can access the device 2) change the python script line 31 to detect the 8i6 3) tweak the "example code" line 492.. the "line/inst" switch is there as sw_impedance() 4) modprobe snd_usb_audio # ... best, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
