Linux Audio-Interface Compatibility

A list of audio interfaces that have been tested with Linux. Hopefully this will help some people answer the question of "does it work on Linux" before spending some money.

Allen & Heath XONE:K2

✓ Working on Ubuntu 16.04

USB, 0 inputs, 4 outputs.

http://www.allen-heath.com/ahproducts/xonek2/

Behringer UCA222

✓ Working on Ubuntu 11.04

USB, 2 inputs, 2 outputs.

http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA222.aspx

Behringer UFO202

✓ Working on Ubuntu 11.04

USB, 2 inputs, 2 outputs.

http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UFO202.aspx

ESI UDJ6

✓ Working on Ubuntu 16.04

USB, 0 inputs, 6 outputs.

The headphone output is incredibly loud. Turning down the volume with the ALSA mixer lowers the volume but not the noise floor, so you get a very noisy signal not really suited for use with headphones. Would work well for 6 hot signals going into an external mixer or such.

Native Instruments Audio 2

✓ Working on Ubuntu 16.04

USB, 0 inputs, 4 outputs.

https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/dj-audio-interfaces/traktor-audio-2/

Native Instruments Audio 4 DJ

✓ Working on Ubuntu 16.04
✓ Working on Debian Jessie
✓ Working on Ubuntu 12.04
✓ Working on Ubuntu 10.10

USB, 4 inputs, 4 outputs. Toggleable phono preamps on all inputs.

Set inputs to Phono: $ amixer -c [cardnumber] cset numid=1 0

Set inputs to Line: $ amixer -c [cardnumber] cset numid=1 1

Native Instruments Audio 6

✓ Working on Ubuntu 11.10

USB, 6 inputs, 6 outputs. Toggleable phono preamps on 4 inputs. Togglable pass-thru on 4 inputs.

PASSTHRU on channel A: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=1 on/(off)

PASSTHRU on channel B: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=2 on/(off)

Switch PHONO/LINE on channel A: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=3 on/(off)

Switch PHONO/LINE on channel B: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=4 on/(off)

An .asoundrc file making this device present stereo pairs can be found here: http://www.pogo.org.uk/~mark/linuxdj/t6.asoundrc

Native Instruments Audio 8 DJ

✓ Working on Debian Jessie
✓ Working on Ubuntu 12.04
✓ Working on Ubuntu 10.10

USB, 8 inputs, 8 outputs. Toggleable phono preamps on 4 inputs.

Set inputs to Phono: $ amixer -c [cardnumber] cset numid=1 1

Set inputs to Line: $ amixer -c [cardnumber] cset numid=1 0

Rane SL-1

✓ Working on Fedora ~2011. Unable to turn on the phono preamps.

USB, 4 inputs, 4 outputs. Toggable phono preamps on all 4 inputs.

Pioneer DJM-750MK2

✖️ Not working on Ubuntu 16.04. Nothing appears to happen when plugged.

USB, 10 inputs, 10 output (?). Toggleable phono preamps on 4 inputs.

linux-audio-interface-compatibility's Issues

DJM 750MK2 is supported

According to this commit, DJM 750MK2 is supported since Linux 5.16.

Unfortunately kernel 5.16 isn't available in the stock Ubuntu repositories, but will eventually be available as HWE kernel for Ubuntu 22.04. Before that and on older versions of Ubuntu upgrading a kernel is possible using custom tools such as mainline.

Chipset and Device IDs?

Thank you for creating this repository, it is a really good idea!

I bought a Behringer UCA222 recently and wondered is it would be useful to keep track of a few more details:

Chipset: Coolaudio V2902
Product ID: 0x2902
Vendor ID: 0x08bb
Current Required (mA): 100

[17:43] == lpil [5c079cfd@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.7.156.253] has joined #alsa
[17:43] <lpil> Hi
[17:43] <lpil> https://bpaste.net/show/93a7007ad2df
[17:44] <wabbits> pulseaudio -k only kills pulseaudio temporarily in the common case
[17:45] <wabbits> any pulseaudio client will respawn it nearly immediately
[17:45] <wabbits> you want to configure this client.conf->autospawn = no
[17:46] <wabbits> then pulseaudio wont respawn and you dont need pasupender
[17:46] == lpil_ [5c079cfd@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.7.156.253] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[17:46] <lpil> Oh yes, it is running I see
[17:47] <lpil> Do I need to do anything to get /etc/pulse/client.conf to be read?
[17:49] <wabbits> nope
[17:49] <wabbits> just kill pulseaudio and it wont be spawned
[17:49] <wabbits> always check after the fact, its good practive
[17:50] <lpil> https://bpaste.net/show/ef68c5b932c2
[17:50] <lpil> For sure
[17:50] <wabbits> I guess that error means it got past the format error and now gives us a more generic error
[17:51] <wabbits> change the plugin from hw: to plughw: and see what happens
[17:51] <lpil> I'll have it do both
[17:51] <lpil> Seeing as it already loops
[17:52] <lpil> https://bpaste.net/show/d70c49a9a28c
[17:52] <wabbits> good thinking
[17:52] <wabbits> last hail mary comment out --disable-format
[17:54] <wabbits> I just noticed that you have multiple instances of snd_usb_audio in the alsa-info.sh report that doesn't seem right
[17:55] <lpil> https://bpaste.net/show/22b16c32d6a5
[17:55] <lpil> What is snd_usb_audio ?
[17:55] <wabbits> its the kernel module(driver) for your usb sound card
[17:55] <wabbits> I only have one instance for mine
[17:56] <lpil> Funky. I have other USB audio interfaces that work as intended, if that helps
[17:56] <wabbits> I'm way to tired to poke through the code and see what that error means...
[17:56] <wabbits> not surprised
[17:57] <wabbits> are you a c coder per chance?
[17:59] <lpil> I am not, though I could possibly read some C.
[18:00] <wabbits> FAIL device='plughw:RMX90DVS,0' rate='48000' format='S32_LE' aplay: set_params:1297: Unable to install hw params:
[18:00] <wabbits> you should see that string at line 1297 of aplay.c
[18:01] <wabbits> maybe debianuser will come by tonight and debug further
[18:01] <lpil> Thanks for your help wabbits, I really appreciate it
[18:02] <lpil> I'll likely idle about here and look at aplay.c a bit
[18:02] <lpil> And email the alsa mailing list later
[18:02] <wabbits> all good ideas
[18:02] <wabbits> best of luck
[18:02] <lpil> One last thing, what's the licence on this script of yours? Can I keep it/share it?
[18:02] <wabbits> no licence so share away
[18:03] <lpil> Thanks
[18:03] <wabbits> np
