Missing information about "Generation 4" hardware #21

Despite the "About" on this repo saying "Latest driver development code for Focusrite Scarlett on Linux", this repo is not that.

I am working towards adding Gen 4 support as noted at https://github.com/geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui/#scarlett-gen-4-support

I'll post updates to linuxmusicians.com as I proceed.

Latest code when it's available for testing will be at https://github.com/geoffreybennett/scarlett-gen2

The master branch here was synced to sound master end of Jul, about 6 weeks ago, so it is a lot more recent than https://github.com/geoffreybennett/scarlett-gen2, which was last updated a year ago.

I can switch the default branch around here, to make it less confusing. The master branch here tracks latest sound master dev.

HinTak commented 1 year ago

The default branch now switched, and is sync to v6.5-rc3-3127-g52ff2a7de35c7 / sound-6.5-rc3-3452-g52ff2a7de35c7 , about 6 weeks ago in sound-dev. Ie. It is at 6.5-rc3 plus a few thousand commits.

I still think dkms is a faster way of developing drivers than whole-sale whole modified kernel.

Can you change the "About" too please? It currently says "Latest driver development code for Focusrite Scarlett on Linux". It would be more accurate if it said "DKMS modules for sound/usb".
