Dear Lloyd,

I have  Scarlett 18i20, and it audio works works using Alsa, Jack and 
pulseaudio provided
I use 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Higher rates do not work, also the mixer can not be 
accessed.
Nevertheless I managed to record using the 8 analog input while monitoring the 
output.

I'm using kubuntu 16.10, Linux 4.8.0-54-generic .
Sadly I'm not a ALSA expert.

> I am interested in any pointer to or information about how to configure and

I actually configured nothing, it just worked (using 44.1 and 48 kHz). Still, 
it's annoying that the higher sampling rates do not work,
and access to the mixer would also be nice.

Best regards,
Peter

P.S. My private request at Focusrite only resulted in a response, saying hat 
they are not
supporting Linux.

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.

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
