If you look at the discussions on the ffado list there's not much, but apparently everything should work fine. http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/72 http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/73 what happens when you launch the ffado-mixer, does the software find the device and the routing mixer appears? have you compiled the latest ffado from git or svn? maybe can you post the output of ffado-diag? by the way, I use a focusrite saffirePro40 and I'm very happy with it. It's not a cheap one, but the output and input preamp quality is great. U'll need latest ffado 2.1 (lots of bug fixes) and jackd2, + a realtime kernel (low latency works for me by now, but sometimes gives me the chills, so im trying to compile my own rt kernel for mint 15, based on ubuntu 13.04) sorry if you mentioned this already, I arrived on this post a bit late.. cheers, M ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

But i have not tested it personally. The fireface 400 and 800 work fine with ffado. I use them a lot under all operating systems. ffado even provides full access to the dsp mixer (totalmix) and settings (phantom power, ...), with one missing feature: at the moment you can not save these settings. Need to set them new by hand, every time you start ffado, as it always resets these values to default. cheers, marian If anyone can recommend good quality for a cheaper price that'd be great too..

Re: [PD] age old multichannel sound card question...
It actually sounds that it is partially working and might work better in the near future… should we trust that since their devices worked in the past, they will work in the future?

A bug in alsa prevented USB2 Class Compliant interfaces to work at all. That has been fixed since. It sucks a lot that you can't use all the fancy effects on the Fireface when using it in class compliant mode. Also only one lonely control (the master volume) gets exposed in ALSA mixer. I am not sure if this is a limitation of the USB Audio Class definition or laziness on the behalf or RME. I also don't understand why RME allows you to control the TotalMix software via OSC - it would make much more sense if one could send the OSC messages directly to the device, enabling all the functions also in CC mode. The (current) OSC implementation of TotalMix is awkward to say the least. http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=18177 I would not bother any more with FireWire, since this interface is already dead or will be dead soon.
