Linux Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre

VCV Rack
1

Anyone else using a Focusrite Clarett+ in VCV Rack on Linux? This interface works great in Bitwig using Pipewire 1.2 and Jack in Reaper. However, VCV Rack doesn’t see any device when I use Jack (pipewire-jack) and freezes when I choose an interface with Pulseaudio (pipewire-pulse). If I use Alsa directly then it sputters and pops. VCV Rack also crashes Bitwig when I load it as a plugin.

This device works perfectly in Windows.

I also have an older device that doesn’t have any of these problems in Linux

I’m assuming I’m missing some sort of critical configuration to get this to work properly in VCV. I’d appreciate any suggestions.

I’m using an up to date version of Manjaro. Kernel 6.9.9-1

Thanks. d.

I don’t know how to answer your question, but if nobody replies here soon, it would be a good idea to send this question to support@vcvrack.com.

Thanks, Don. I already did. It’s a pretty strange issue as I have another interface that works fine with pipewire-jack. Seems to be specific to the focusrite clarett+.
