Digidesign 002/003R clicks and pops gone

Posted on

The tree is not quite merged into mainline kernel but you can get it from here with the right changes:https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git git hash 82b954a96c1550bae2cb1f1f4f084425ab237cd7 (or newer) Here is a link to at least […]

Digidesign (original Mbox) Linux Driver

Posted on

A few people have asked me since I made the MBox2 driver whether the original Mbox (with Focusrite preamps) could be made to work with Linux. The current status in the mainline kernel is that playback is supported but users have reported issues with loud static noises appearing sporadically. Capture is not supported currently at […]

Digidesign Mbox 2 – Now part of ALSA!

Posted on

ZamAudio would like to thank the developers who wrote the bulk of the USB Audio driver for linux, and users who donated and helped me test this hardware. Without their hard work, this patch would not have worked and made it possible for other Mbox2 users to use their Digidesign hardware on a free operating […]
