Okay, sorry. Found the tar.xgz-File. Still fails with Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway. your card at hw:USB (or its driver) is not configured in the expected manner: could not find control matching string 'Scarlett 6i6 USB-Sync' Anyway, I guess, you expected this. Anyway, thanks for your effort so far. Let me know if I can do anything.

Thanks a lot @ascorbicorpheus! I wanted to download it, seems there is only a quicktime source file or something when I hit "Download". Is it supposed to be like that?

Frederick Hermes posted a comment on ticket #5
Your alsa driver/hardware revision seems to be implemented considerably differently from mine. I don't see any explicit output switches. I believe they might be attached to the output volume controls; I will look into this when I have time to do so.
-
Fixed 2/25/21, for my hardware revision. I will work on a fix that will be compatible with your amixer output, which is rather different from mine.
-
Fixed 2/25/21. Let me know if the new version doesn't work for you. 1.2.4 seems to assign numid's somewhat non-deterministically. The code has been adapted to reflect that situation.

update for alsa 1.2.4
-
It will be a bit of a rewrite but I believe that I will have time to implement that solution this week. That would be awesome. I really would like to have a usefull interface for my focusrite. =)
-
I am also using alsa 1.2.4 and our numid scheme is totally different. I have never seen this happen before. It might be that you are simply using a newer hardware revision and the driver is assigning the controls to different ID's based on that. At this point, I think the best way to solve this is to poll alsa for the numid's instead of hard-coding them into the software. It will be a bit of a rewrite but I believe that I will have time to implement that solution this week.

qsismixer can't find focusrite, although alsamixer finds controls #1

Thanks for the heads up, I failed to come across that one in my search. I'll certainly check with that thread to see if there is anything I can do to help this along.

Jonas Berlin posted a comment on ticket #3
Thre seems to be some new driver development here: https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18862 Maybe you can pariticipate in testing with 6i6 as well..
-
6i6 support was added in 2014 and there been only some minor updates to it since then. Scarlett 2nd gen seems to have been introduced only in 2016 so I guess someone would need to add support for them. Perhaps you could ask the original mixer driver author "arges"? His email from 2014 can also been seen in the description of the original commit. The code checking the usb ids is here - based on above the 1st gen 6i6 is listed as 1235:8012.
-
Could it be that the 2nd generation 6i6 isn't supported by the Linux USB sound/usb/mixer_scarlett.c kernel driver? I've got a similar problem with a 2nd generation scarlett 6i6. The USB ID is 1235:8203. This appears to be the same ID of the device in the first post.

No control over interface ALSA 4.18

Fixed
-
It's the new ALSA, they've broken this program with their updates before; they broke it the same way this time. If there are no hidden side effects, I should have a fix pushed shortly.

I had to change the name of the device in the source from ""Scarlett 6i6 USB-Sync" to "Scarlett 6i6 USB-Sync Clock Source". Then everything works perfectly for me.

This is a bug in alsa, not a bug in qsismix. The controls that qsismix uses to interact with the 6i6 hardware should be listed under amixer controls, but for some unknown reason are not available under some system configurations. A possible work-around is to disable pulseaudio when you want to use alsa's mixer controls, although I am not sure that pulseaudio is always the culprit and pulse runs along with alsa on my system without issue.

Actually, this looks like another iteration of a bug where in some versions of alsa, an 'Internal Validity' control is present and in other versions, it isn't. Can you let me know the output of the following? $ amixer -Dhw:USB controls $ aplay --version $ aplay -l The way I had fixed it was to define alsa <1.1.1 as 'no internal validity', and alsa >= 1.1.2 as 'internal validity'. Maybe alsa 1.1.1 is the only one without internal validity?

I do not believe that this is a problem with qsismix. It is a problem with alsa. You should be able to access mixer controls by running alsamixer -Dhw:USB If the native alsa tool doesn't work, neither can qsismix. However: I have seen a similar issue before that seems to affect USB soundcards, where alsa controls are unavailable when pulseaudio is running. Try disabling pulseaudio as a possible work-around fix, depending on your system configuration. If you can see the controls on alsamixer but qsismix...
-
So alsa isn't properly loading the controls for your 6i6. Strange, as I recall alsa 1.1.0 working with my 6i6. You all might have a new hardware revision that isn't properly recognized by the software driver? I would be interested to hear back if anyone updates alsa to a newer version and gets the card working that way. I also recall someone reporting a problem where the alsa controls didn't work right when pulseaudio was running. They could load qsismix just fine when pulse wasn't activated, but...

alsamixer -Dhw:USB let's me toggle between Clock source S/PDIFand Clock source Internal There are no controls for recording.
-
Those of you who have the 'Clock Source' bug, if you run alsamixer -Dhw:USB do you get the full set of mixer controls? If not, then this is really a bug where alsa isn't properly recognizing your 6i6, not a bug with my program. I use the same interface that the alsamixer program does to interface with the sound card, I just use a different way to access the elements because I know what to expect from the sound card and can generate the mixer GUI statically instead of dynamically.
-
I am honestly at a total loss here... there is a bug where the program doesn't care what driver you ask it to use and just uses hw:USB, which I will fix presently, but for you all that actually doesn't make a difference. Your drivers are under the default name. So it looks like the problem is that alsa's "mixer controls" interface, which I used to interact with the sound card on every functional level of the program, seems to be totally absent for you guys. Instead of the 150+ mixer controls, you...

You may be right about the libasound2-dev/alsa conflict. Since then I've reinstalled Ubuntu (on 17.10 now) and the new version of qsismixer works perfectly. Qt5 aplay: version 1.1.3 Ubuntu 17.10 Thanks very much for the software. If there's anymore information I can give that would still be useful, let me know.
