I didn't actually think that it would work flawlessly due to the two XLR-Ports and my previous experiences, but it's more than perfect. Even the headphone jack is way better since I don't get base noise on max volume anymore 😳

Still have the first-gen 2i2 running on linux. Looks like the gen3 version is a lot more plasticky than first gen one. Didn't need to modify any channels either. Works out of box on the distros i have tried. I guess 3rd gen is quite a bit different then. Great video!

Technically, besides Mass Storage Mode, the 2i2 can also already work fine, but might not be configurable with alsa mixer all the the way. Just depends on the Kernel and if it identifies correctly.

I'm amazed the 1st gen works with Linux. My research was saying that at least 3rd gen would be needed. It is 'USB class compliant', which assures compatibility, I understand. Very rare to find videos or much info at all about audio interface Linux compatibility, so this is great.

I'm personally not a huge fan of noise surpression, since it can with the sound a bit. Nothing is perfect but for videos or basically anything outside of Gaming, using Surpression to "fix" something is not that great. Preferrably you wouldn't even use a noise gate

For my interfaces from Zoom and Behringer, it just works. UMC404HD - just works. Zoom U-22 - Just works. I have a friend with the Zoom U-44 and a UMC1820, and for him, on Linux - Just works. Full PnP function. Apparently even the crappier Behringer interfaces (UM2 and UMC22) and cheap interfaces from Donner (LiveJack and LiveJackM) just work out of the box in Linux, and they actually work better on Linux and Mac than on Windows, since Windows needs Asio4All. My fiancee has the UMC22, and Feren OS Linux on her laptop plays nicer with it than Windows on her desktop does.

I was thinking about getting one of these for recording mic audio via XLR. I currently have a Rodecaster Pro that I use for my podcast. Works great with OBS on Fedora. The only thing holding me back from using it while gaming is its size. I want to consider something small like a Shure MOTIV MVI or Rode AI-1. I also considered Focusrite bc I've heard a lot of good about them but, nothing about Linux compatability.

You should be able to select different audio devices now. A recent patch of pipewire (probably), now let's me select a specific port which gets picked up like a mono mic instead of seperated channels. This is an addon since by default, you don't actually want that behaviour given, that all available channels, shouldn't be mixed together

Wine doesn't read out the USB devices directly, which means that it does not even know what the device on the other side is. Configuring the Focusrite series on Linux is usually done with Alsamixer and Jack.
