jonandtice Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Has anyone successfully been using the Helix as an audio interface on Linux? I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 and the Helix does not show up as a device in the sound settings. It is also not listed as a device if I run aplay -l When I start jack (using Cadence from KXStudio) it is not listed in the configuration section. If I run alsamixer it is listed as a soundcard (Helix). lsusb also lists the device. I'm not expecting to be able to use HX Edit, just use the Helix as an audio interface.

pabrosimov Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Wanted to share small update on current state of Linux support. I am using Fedora 31 kernel 5.5.11-200.fc31.x86_64 that has out-of-the-box support for Helix product line. I am able to use Ardour to record and playback on multiple channels.

mac2222 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I've just tried Kubuntu 20.04 and helix is working out of the box with no additional configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark12870 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 For me on Manjaro, it works just for a while (like 30 seconds). Then it starts to throwing a lot of Xruns, it stops working and whole Jack seems to be frozen. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also running Kubuntu 20.04. I have yet to try and use my Helix with it though. How consistently are you getting it to work and does it stay connected? Thanx!

SunRe Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I can confirm this is working in ubuntu 20.10, kernel 5.8.0-29 without any patching of the kernel. I have a question though, was anyone able to change the sample rate to 96Khz? HX Stomp is capable of this and is Class 1 compliant so the drivers should be fine. But changing the sample rate in Jack Audio Connection Kit produces no change (the gui still shows 48KHz even after restarting the client).

tcamuso Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 This is FANTASTIC! I'm going to download Reaper on my F31 workstation and try it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
