Is this an older, 1st generation, Scarlett device that is supported by Linux? The linux driver does not support the mixer of newer Scarlett devices yet.
Device
hw:2' is not supported` either means that "hw:2" (3rd hardware soundcard, start counting at 0) is not a Scarlett device or an unsupported device
You could try
./scarlett-mixer --print-controls hw:2
That will print the soundcard's name, or simply list all devices with aplay -l
or cat /proc/asound/cards
does amixer -D hw:2
@x42 I am a first timer on Linux. So I am very confused with all this.
To answer your questions, This is Focusrite Scarlett 18i8. It is also gen 1.
./scarlett-mixer --print-controls hw:2
will still result in "No such file or directory"
aplay -l

I am not sure what you mean by "does amixer -D hw:2
"
I typed that in my terminal but I just got a really big chunks of text.
I have followed the bash commands in the README. However, when I do
./scarlett-mixer hw:2
I will only see:I am trying to use my Scarlett 18i8 and I am using 18.04 ubuntu.
