Sound card Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 not working after update to F24

[Matthew Colton]

Hi all,
as the subject says my sound card stopped working after the update to
F24. The sound card worked like a charm in F22 and F23.

Now the situation is as following:
After booting the card is NOT listed by lsusb, yet the LED auf the 2i2
is on. After replugging the device it is listed by lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 1235:8016 Focusrite-Novation

Now it gets wierd. As long as I do NOT log into a desktop session the
card works fine in the console and is listed by lsusb. The card is
selected in alsamixer and aplay works as expected. The card works
and audio files can be played.

As soon as I log in to a desktop session (standard GNOME in my case) 
the sound card doesn't work. Seems to be some kind of a pulseaudio
problem. It is still selected in alsamixer, but not available in pacmd

That's certainly bizarre.  I don't have any guaranteed fix, just some
suggestions.

You could try unplugging the device, booting up, and logging in to X,
and *then* plugging in the device.  That might allow the GUI to
recognize it as belonging to you.

It seems unlikely, but it could be a bug in the audio driver in the
kernel, so you could try a different kernel.

The upgrade might have changed your configuration files associated with
sound.  So you could look for changed configuration files.

Did you make any other changes along with the upgrade?

Update fwupd. There is a DFU issue we only recently found and fixed. Richard

Do you mean updating to 0.7.2 manually by compiling from source?

Sorry for the short response, I was on mobile and too tired to find a
laptop. See https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/50 for the
upstream bug.

You can get it from koji; I forgot to do the f24 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=20119

I'll do the f24 update now.

You need to install it, reboot, remove the USB device, replug and then
you should be good to go. Or, it's a different issue and I'm out of
ideas :)

Richard.

SOLVED: Re: Sound card Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 not working after update to F24

[Matthew Colton]

I followed your guideline and it works just as expected now.

Thank you very much Richard! :)

Cheers

Nope, have the old kernels from F23. Tried them, same result.

Nothing that AFAI could see.

No, it was juspure update. Everything else works.
