Is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen Compatable with linux? <SOLVED>

Post by Oldmac »

I was wondering if anyone here has tested ( or is using ) the Focusrtie Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen in Linux. I know that the 1st Gen is proven to work but was wondering the status of the second Generation.

Hi @Oldmac,

didn't try the 2i2 - but I have the 6i6 2nd gen, which runs perfectly fine. Should be the same for that smaller one.

LG,
Wolfgang

Yes I have one and it's working very well, with almost zero fiddling.

I'm running basically Debian Sid (in truth, either siduction or aptosid, but they are just Sid with a few small tweaks) with KXStudio repository (although it also worked fine before I added it).
