Maybe downgrading the firmware will change things?

Could anyone working with the MOTU ultralite confirm
that they have
routing from analog inputs to the computer working? I can see signal
showing up in the routing matrix and device page, and the device shows up
as intended with 18 channels of input in JACK / ALSA, but I don't get any
signal, even though I routed 6 analog input channels to "To Computer 1"
through "To Compute 6". Really puzzled ... everything suggests that this
should just work....

The linked product is a rj45 splitter that is

Ethernet connections thru a single cable but you need one of these at both
endpoints and this has nothing to do with my use case. I know that a switch
is the solution and was only stating the limitation gnu Linux users will
face because of the missing control link.
I am quite happy with the product and I usually only need one card
connected to my laptop and the things are just great as for the rest of gnu
AVB users. It was only a heads up for the issue.
I hope that we in the future will have access without need for the AVB
switch, both for cost effectiveness and reduced complexity.
