Hi Everyone,
Can anyone recommend a multichannel sound card that works well under linux. Hoping to have 8 in/out + adat if possible.
Do the latest RME cards (fire face UCX, UC, UFX) work under Linux? alsa/ffado? Does anyone use the fireface 800 successfully with ffado?
If anyone can recommend good quality for a cheaper price that'd be great too..

hi,
The new firefaces (ufx, ucx) seem to be running perfectly well via usb2 under linux, with "class compliant mode", without drivers. But i have not tested it personally.
The fireface 400 and 800 work fine with ffado. I use them a lot under all operating systems. ffado even provides full access to the dsp mixer (totalmix) and settings (phantom power, ...), with one missing feature: at the moment you can not save these settings. Need to set them new by hand, every time you start ffado, as it always resets these values to default.
cheers, marian

not really true, since "class compliant mode" does require a driver as well...only all modern OSs already ship one, so the manfacturers claim that it is "driver free" (while it is really only "driver installation free").
But i have not tested it personally.
i tested the UCX in class-compliant mode and i only managed to get 8 channels in and 8 channels out (while it really should have 18 ins and 18 outs). afair, those were the analog IOs. and virtually no controls (like pre-amps and the like)
but definitely promising

echo audiofire 12 works nicely here.
using ffado

I have the UCX running in CC mode, Alsamixer has only one control, the master volume.
You need a Kernel with at least 3.8 to get audio over USB2 devices at all because of some bug in ALSA. The fix of the alsa /sound/usb/mixer.c is in kernel 3.8 which i have on the system. http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2013-January/058998.htm...
however the current kernel has some issues wich causes horrible crackles (I tried 44100 and 48000 Hz, they both give me different kind of crackles).

Hi
When i need a lot of in/outs, i use my second-hand m-audio profire lightbridge : 4 ADAT in, 4 ADAT out, 2 jack out, stereo headphones out, midi in/out. Works ok with jack and ffado.

Hi,
I think the RME USB and firewire interfaces don't work on linux unfortunately. Or at least that's what I was told.

It actually sounds that it is partially working and might work better in the near future… should we trust that since their devices worked in the past, they will work in the future?

I guess that should read: the RME interfaces which have both: USB AND FW ports on the same device.
While the FireWire doesn't seem to be working on those devices with ffado yet, the devices can be set to the USB Class Complinant (CC) mode. A bug in alsa prevented USB2 Class Compliant interfaces to work at all. That has been fixed since.
It sucks a lot that you can't use all the fancy effects on the Fireface when using it in class compliant mode. Also only one lonely control (the master volume) gets exposed in ALSA mixer. I am not sure if this is a limitation of the USB Audio Class definition or laziness on the behalf or RME. I also don't understand why RME allows you to control the TotalMix software via OSC - it would make much more sense if one could send the OSC messages directly to the device, enabling all the functions also in CC mode.
The (current) OSC implementation of TotalMix is awkward to say the least. http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=18177
I would not bother any more with FireWire, since this interface is already dead or will be dead soon. (That is if you are buying new hardware, computer or soundcard, today.)
And for the record: Fireface 400 and Fireface 800 are listed as Full Support on the ffado page: http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list&page=3
