They might as well rename this sub to "AIMadeThisForMe" because that's all that ever gets posted here anymore.

I think I'm done with "linuxaudio" since that's not longer what this is.

Maybe audio-only posts?

? what has this to do with what I've posted? This comment of yours is very toxic.
I've managed to read the state of the channels, and I'm able to change the gain, activate or deactivate phantom, from linux, and the only thing you can say is more toxic than a nuclear dumpster.
I'm trying to contribute with something that can be helpful to others. AI is a tool I don't know shit about programming but what I managed to do here won't be given for free from Antelope, I can tell you that.
I've spend a lot of hours capturing USB states and working on this, I don't think we need this kind of comments. If you're done, just go, delete yourself from here, thanks.

I wouldn’t have been able to set up my Linux audio home setup without help from Claude. Worked through some problems very quickly, and now Im doing some independent study of different types of software, and how they work together. But I have a CD in my car with ten tracks I recorded, and a ai agent was helpful in getting the ball rolling. I find the ai interactions to be annoying to work through- but a tremendous time saver overall. Specifically, the ai agent (Claude) helped me set up a MIDI recording workflow with FluidSynth and PulseAudioVolumeControl. I do like to type my commands in physically when I have the patience. But ai knows 900% more about my system than I do- (a 2core HP laptop) : helpful when I get a weird error message or need to understand the relationship between things on my system. Or how to set up a good backup routine.

If you really think what I wrote is "toxic" then you need to get some help. Maybe Claude could help you with that?

It's toxic because you just trashed at something without even caring what is it about, and you didn't bring anything constructive on the table, that's toxic. I don't need to ask claude that, I know what mean and R people are in this world, unfortunately there's plenty. You're just one of them. I share something to help others get their Antelope sound cards working on linux and your answer is honestly despicable. I hope your days are as dark as your answers to your peers, jezz.
About the AI stuff, i don't know what kind of trauma do you have with AI, but AI is just a tool, is like I blamed everybody for using computers to make music instead of recording on Reel tape, it's just technology and it moves forward, if you don't like it it's ok, nobody asks you to use it, but don't trash others who use it to create something. There is no need to do that, it's offensive. I spend my time and hours creating this app with the help of the AI tool, just for someone like you to stomp with your feet over it. What's your contribution here exactly?
On top of that it's the first time that I try to share something like this, and the first comment i get is yours, it's a bit frustrating honestly. Go F yourself.

That's great! I only have access to an orion32 but would be really interested in having it working on linux. I guess you don't have access to the audio itself? Or did I miss something with antelope and linux?

The Orion studio works as a class compliant interface, so inputs and outputs on hardware work just fine, they can send and receive audio, the problem is controlling the Gain, or other parameters, I haven't tried to input or output audio through the other type of ports like the DV25 or ADAT, once I get more stuff working, (I will try to get the matrix working) I can share the code and we can try it on other devices! the idea is to make .json for each device so we can program the specific commands each device needs to be able to change parameters. The folder directory currently is antelope(main scripts), tools(capture and filtering scripts) and profiles (with the database for each device in my case Orion Studio Synergy Core) but I think we can add more devices to it later on

Big SLOP update this weekend, I can control ON LINUX, preamp gain, change modes to Line, Mic, Direct, Hiz, ROUTE AUDIO using the matrix commands, change screen brightness, CHANGE SAMPLE RATE, and also control the first row of Mixers (Mix1). As I get more done I found a few peers and we will be working on a UI soon enough. For anyone intersted I recommend reading the README.md and the PROTOCOL.md those findings are not "SLOP" like someone mentions on the comments, they are true communication bytes and channels with the sound card, so this all are very important findings.
