-    * Contacted Focusrite: "Our Scarlett USB 2.0 interfaces can work as class compliant devices so it should be possible to use them on Linux using a USB audio class driver." also: "Unfortunately there are no plans for us to develop dedicated Linux drivers but **we are usually able to offer some help to developers that would like to develop drivers if they get in touch. This has been done in the past for our FireWire interfaces by FFADO** - we helped make it possible for the drivers to be developed." +

-CAN BE MADE TO WORK! At least with Ardour, ALSA, and JackAudio. I haven't tested in PulseAudio because I disabled that for other reasons. Here are the steps: +
-  * Plug into an OSX machine, and use the included software (you don't have to install it and there are no drivers) to reset the device to factory. You can also do this on a Windows machine, but that involves installing drivers, so borrow a Macbook or something. +
-  * Even after that, plugging it in will crash many variants of the 2.6 kernel. This is a kernel interrupt-handler bug. HOWEVER! You can upgrade Linux kernels without upgrading the entire GNU/Linux OS. Directions for Ubuntu are here: [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds]] Upgrade to version 3.1.5-generic, and restart the machine. +
-  * Plug the US-800 into an open USB port. There will be MANY complaints in syslog. That's... marginally okay. Better than crashing, anyway. We'll fix it below. +
-  * Launch JackAudio. Go into settings panel, create a new config, based on current actual configuration. THE RESULT WILL BE WRONG, but we'll fix it. +
-  * On the lower right there will be dropdowns for numbers of inputs and outputs. It will probably default to either 2/2 or automatic/automatic. This is wrong. Set those manually to 8/2. +
-  * Save those changes, then stop and restart JackAudio. This is ALSO important because I think we're working around an ALSA device scanner bug where it gets the numbers of inputs wrong. (Or the hardware is buggy and Windows and OSX patch around it. One of those.) +
-  * Go back into settings, and on the lower right, near the number-of-inputs selectors, there will be device selectors for both input and output. Do NOT pick plughw, even tho' that should totally work. Click on the little down wedge icon that brings up the physical device names, and select "us800" for both inputs and outputs. +
-  * Save changes, stop and restart JACK server. You should now have at least all six analogue inputs, and both outputs, at least in things that talk to JackAudio. I can't validate the digital inputs because I lack the hardware. +
- +
-I tested mostly with 44.1khz but in testing other bitrates worked fine too! I can't get other 24-bit to work, though. But that's ok for me, I record at 16 bit. ^_^ +
- +
-=== Other notes === +
-  * Claims to be a USB Audio 2.0 compliant device; locks Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lyyx) 2.6.32-35-generic shortly after plug-in. Survival time is longer in text console than in GUI. End up with BUG: soft lockup - CPU #0 stuck for 61s! [khubd:29] errors, and then lots of tasks are blocked for 2+ minutes (like kjournald and upowerd and rsyslogd and and and). +
-  * Appears related to this bug: [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/576496]] but the noacpi workaround DOES NOT WORK. :( +
-  * Also seen here: [[http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1631488.html]] +

-Note: Audio seems to run only at 44.1kHz, not 48kHz. The io4 is essentially identical to the io2 express (above) but with two additional channels for 4-channel operation in 16-bit mode, and unlike the io2, the io4 is not bus powered. +
