But at least for starters I'd like to know how to try run the V2 with "V1" drivers. I've been using Linux for a while but never really dabbled too far in the lower level stuff. Sorry for the ramble but I was hoping someone can chime in on whether I'm on the right track and how to proceed from here.

So since "V2" is such a close rehash of V1 with likely identical components and/or protocols it should be easy to get V2 working right? Right? And the "advanced" mode, which would usually require proprietary drivers, has been working since Ubuntu v9.10 in 2010. From Here you can see the "class compliant" mode (44.1kHz/16b) has been functional since Ubuntu 6.10.

In which case I'm assuming the I/O drivers will be basically (if not exactly) identical. Also from my knowledge of both devices I'm assuming they reused the same IC's just with a different PCB and form factor with maybe a few upgraded surface components and an tweaked firmware. But part of what gives me hope is that alsamixer ever registers "V2" as a device. I'm by no means an expert, so please give me advice. For reference my "V1" which is fully functional looks almost identical in alsamixer (in both "advanced" mode, and the "class compliant" mode). That is, the device is essentially a hardware mixer in itself and so there's no software controls or information (which I hope simplify the drivers). And I imagine it must be similarly useful for a low tech (low care?) live performance.ĪFAIK the lack of info in the alsamixer screenshot isn't an issue since it's a hardware limitation and long been known on "V1". It's by no means the best "quality" device, but it does fulfil a niche for realtime effects such as for gaming even if it's just to add a little tube "warmth" to my mic. But I feel there's reason to hold out a little hope.įirstly I've been using the UA-4FX "V1" for years on and off. I was scouring the interwebs hoping to find confirmation everything will be fine in Linux (I use Ubuntu), but it's not looking to promising. I had initially routed it through a USB 3 connection but have now moved it to a USB 2 port. FLS 10 recognizes the UA-4FX and I have it enabled. But starting version 9 (and now 10), I am not able to use my keyboards wired this way to get any inputs. I made this new account after a less than sensible decision last night to order a UA-4FX2 I found on sale. I used to be able to use my Technics keyboard and connect it through an Edirol UA-4FX to FL Studio.
