I am trying to make a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (2nd Generation) work as a USB audio capture device with Linux. Using the most current Linux kernel without change (v4.12-rc6), Mic inputs 1 and 2 are successfully captured. However, no other inputs are heard. The Scarlett device also presents a very limited set of ALSA controls.

   Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1235:8201 Focusrite-Novation

      ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
      : values=on
   numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Clock Source'
      ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw------,values=1,items=3
      ; Item #0 'Internal'
      ; Item #1 'S/PDIF'
      ; Item #2 'ADAT'
      : values=0
   numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Internal Validity'
      ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
      : values=on
   numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='S/PDIF Validity'
      ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
      : values=on

I modified sound/usb driver files mixer_quirks.c and mixer_scarlett.c to treat the Scarlett 2nd generation device the same way it handles the Scarlett 1st generation

   0x1235:0x800c    1st Generation
   0x1235:0x8201    2nd Generation

When checking with amixer, 228 controls are now listed, along with errors that prevent alsamixer from being used. I have no information about how to properly configure these controls.

I am interested in any pointer to or information about how to configure and use this Scarlett 2nd Generation device.

Thank you,

Lloyd Dickman
