Has anyone tried a Scarlett 18i8 with their One?

When I connect with MPC live2 using USB port, It has occured noise and distortion while sound playing.
This could be an incorrect synchronization type in usb descriptors (like with Scarlett Solo 2nd gen), or maybe the device is using an implicit feedback.

I flashed the LiveXplore to change various ALSA settings such as bit depth, buffer size etc. and I still had the same drop out issues. This led me over to the linuxmusicians thread discussing issues with the 18i20 (but potentially other 3rd gen scarletts?): https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.ph ... 3b07b024e0.
From the thread it seems like this is the issue but requires a patch:This could be an incorrect synchronization type in usb descriptors (like with Scarlett Solo 2nd gen), or maybe the device is using an implicit feedback.
Fortunately someone wrote a patch that has had some success with other linux users. However I can not patch the kernel without the source since that is on akai's side and not some random linux distribution.
Summary:
This is a linux (what all the modern devices run on live, one, force, x etc) specific issue. The fix is out there though and it is just a matter of time when it goes to the official linux kernel release and then when akai decides to update their kernel version.

Which generation of 18i20?

if you first switch settings to 44.1khz in iConnect software.
Allen&Heath Xone:PX5 also works and also for multitrack recording.
BUT !
The A&H only records everything PRE faders and eq’s since that's all analog on the A&H !!
But that's also the case recording to any other DAW. Such a missed chance from A&H.
If they would have routed everything to their sound card POST fader and eq, it would have been an awesome live and studio mixer/interface..
