Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and the Roland Quad Capture USB Sound Device
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2019 10:02 am
I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS alongside my Win XP test and measurement machine.
There was only one minor issue: The Roland "Quad Capture" (2 In 2 Out Analog) is mistakenly profiled as an Analog 4.0 Output.
With the 18.04 "Live" demo DVD (which is Lubuntu) the Quad Capture worked perfectly.
It was only after the actual 18.04 distribution was installed did audio fail.
I know this is not a hardware/USB problem...
Being USB and only 2 channel Analog Out the Quad Capture does not support audio transfer when it is configured for 4 channel output.
This is either a Pulse or Alsa problem and it is common to Ubuntu 16.04 which I checked on another machine.
The question I have is where do I fix this persistently?
What file and where?
