Probably best to dual boot before committing to Linux.Ī notable improvement with the Linux driver is it allows for arbitrary switching of sample rate through jackd. The wayback machine has some vague references that indicate partial success. The Much of the online documentation around tests with this driver and various hardware is offline or a broken link.
Motu 828 mk2 firmware update drivers#
Linux kernel drivers are provided through the ffado project, which exists for Firewire audio. The preceding code is very interesting in that it exposes what appears to be all the features of the device. MOTU is hostile towards Linux but that didn't stop us!. I discourage recording important things not considered ephemeral with this device. This can be thought of as "fullness" or "unpredictability" or maybe "warmth".

It also makes noise at periodic intervals without user input. I think the firmware crashed though the analog components and the software driver continue to work. The non-backlit LCD screen displayed some hexadecimal numbers. This means the digital level meters began flashing in a regular pattern, all colors. Need more testing.Īs of Fri Mar 25 09:31: this device went into "xmastree mode".

It appears that on Debian stable it works okay.

The Linux driver from ffado is partially broken, in that the patch in the package on Debian testing fails and renders the unit inoperable. The LCD screen on the unit has a broken backlight.
Motu 828 mk2 firmware update how to#
I couldn't figure out how to get the S/PDIF or optical ports to do anything interesting, despite the Denon having both RCA and optical inputs. It has some impressive pro audio features circa 2004.
