Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

Something else I found quite interesting: cd /var/lib/alsa root@orion:/var/lib/alsa# tail -n 48 asound.state state.USB { control.1 { iface PCM name 'Playback Channel Map' value.0 0 value.1 0 value.2 0 value.3 0 comment { access read type INTEGER count 4 range '0 - 36' } } control.2 { iface PCM name ...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

If speaker-test came out through the internal soundcard then your changes in .asoundrc didn't work. I have disabled my internal soundcard in the BIOS. Yes, I wanted to do that, unfortunately my Thinkpad doesn't have this toggle in the BIOS. So instead... EDIT : I think you need to create /etc/asoun...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

Thanks. Yeah well, your conclusions are logical, however I can't accept it to be broken. I've just today tested in in Win10 again, this time all worked flawlessly. I'm more inclined to blame my own OS, I'll keep trying. Perhaps I can use some other systems from bootable disks, see if that gets me so...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

Hi, it's probably a good idea to test with windows, just to make sure the card works at all. Thank you, I agree. Well it's been done yesterday with a Win 10 system. Initially, to my delight, the interface was dead silent as well, in spite of having been selected as a main card in that Win10 system....

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

So far I was able to test it on one additional Debian 9 system, also in one Ubuntu 18.10, behaves identically everywhere: even though I initialize Jack, no sound. I'll probably test with Win10 tommorow.

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

Thank you both. OK so I'm continuing the tests with H2N unplugged. Well, as much as I'd like it not to be the case, Scarlett 2i4 has no mute buttons, just plain rotary knobs for monitor volume which are all set to max. About speaker-test . Calling it without arguments causes my builtin, onboard (it'...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

Thank you. Yes, that also crossed my mind. However, as reported by other users here, 2i4 exposes no controls to ALSA:

Re: Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

Good. In that case I should hear sound on 2i4. I don't, regardless of whether Zoom H2 is connected or not.
For clarity, also things like

Code: Select all

 jackd -R -d alsa -P hw:USB  -r 48000 -p	128 & 
(so no capture) get me nowhere, no sound.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 dead silent in Debian (no PA)

Hi there. This is my first post on this forum, so welcome everyone, thanks for the quality material I've been reading for some time now! I have been just gifted a Focusrite 2i4, and so far I'm convinced it's either broken, malconfigured or I'm just an idiot - interestingly, these don't exclude eacho...
