Public bug reported: On E-MU 0204 USB only 2-channel mode worked. In this mode the second pair of channels just duplicates the output of the first pair. E-MU control panel under MS Windows allow to switch to 2-channel or 4-channel mode. I ran USB sniffer, and it shows switch commands that the system send to the device:
====================================== Host send 2 bytes to device: Request: 0x1 Value: 0x400 Data: 01 01 //switching to 2-channel mode Data: 01 02 //switching to 4-channel mode ====================================== Looks like in Ubuntu the card by default stay in 2-channel mode.
