[LAU] Hardware Soundcard - MOTU 624 AVB Working with Gnu/Linux - Debian 8.7

[LAU Reader]

Hello.

i still use an old firmware. As i do not really trust  - yet - MOTU with 
Gnu/Linux.

Keep in mind that if this AVB series products work under Gnu/Linux, i 
think it's more a side effect from USB audio Class compliant than a real 
desire from MOTU (it has to work for Apple/Ipad).

As this new v1.3.2+102 firmware shows that you have nothing new in the 
web interface ( no bios menu added with other options ? ) it may do 
something for Windows/Apple Os's users ?!
