Other manufacturers provide linux drivers directly, installing to either /opt or /usr/local which are used for apps that don't go through the distro's package manager. When I unplug the focusrite USB, ta-da it magically works. I’d be stuck in the boot windows logo and load forever. On top of everything, my computer wouldn’t boot up after I installed all the Focusrite drivers. When are Linux drivers going to be available? NOTE: The Linux audio community routinely writes and maintains drivers where they work with the manufacturer to obtain minimal technical information - primarily communication and addressing - no proprietary information is required. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface for Recording, Songwriting, Streaming and Podcasting High-Fidelity. Was looking to upgrade to digital via a series III console but, while it would work as a control surface for my DAW (Ardour on Linux) I would not be able to use the interface as it is not yet available. I am looking forward for a solution, so don't be afraid to ask me more information if you need.Currently using an RME interface with a 32 channel analog console. I have got Kubuntu 20.04, with probably the latest versions of everything. Of course, Alsamixer says me my soundcard doesn't have any controls. My question is in the title : How am I supposed to configure my Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen through JackCtl so that I have a low latency ?įor the software part, I am using the ALSA drivers with JackCtl. What happens then is underruns popping, which are the sign you might have a larger buffer, so a higher latency. 2-Channel USB2.0 Audio Interface with USB-C Connection 24 bit / 192 kHz, 2 Scarlett microphone preamps, +48 V phantom power, Switchable Air function. I can change the settings, of course, and put the latency to 4 ms.

JackCtl tells me I've got about 70 ms latency, instead of about 4 ms.

So I did everything I was attempted to do, and I finally had sound ! The reason I'm posting here is that I have a huge latency compared to what I'm supposed to have. It says that the 2i2 3rd gen works perfectly with Jack ! If you're trying to make your Focusrite work, check this link out. After fighting against the audio problems I had with my Scarlett 2i2 plugged in, I found this page:įocusrite Scarlett 2i2 working flawlessly on Ubuntu with JACK First, thanks for helping me if you do, or I hope this post will help you if you have the same or similar issues as me.
