Thank you in advance for reading this post. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
I have a Toshiba S875D laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I am trying to setup a focusrite 18i8 USB audio mixing board. It is not recognized under ALSA. Any thoughts?
Here is the output from some of the commands
