🧵 So I got this #Focusrite #Saffire Pro24 for 18,50€, used from Ebay. It's a #Firewire #AudioInterface.
I don't have much time now but here's a first quick test… I plugged it into the crazy Apple adapter chain from Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3, and plugged the latter into my good old Lenovo t470.
The interface gets bus-powered instantly, and #Pipewire can be set to Pro Audio mode… good^Wcumbersome old #ffadoMixer allows to set all options and internal monitor mix when run as root (I should solved this).
So sad that #Linux will also lose Firewire support at some point. This devices feels like a quality device. It even has a power switch.
For high-end situations, I have an #RME #Fireface 400 still, but this is about getting 6 analog, balanced outputs that aren't shitty for cheap. And if further testing should show this works reliably, it's really an inexpensive solution (if you have the firewire adapters or a Firewire interface card already).
