Mr. McCoy claims to have enabled the Zoom R8 (yes, there is quite a difference between r16 and r8) as a multi-input soundcard for ardour and also as a control surface in 12.04 64bits. There is no information as to which driver is being in use in his post. And searching the web only leads me to various WIP to get the R16 running on linux.
My question is, has anyone got any news about this device and a possible drivers? Specifically to Mr. Brett McCoy: what driver did you use to make jack aware of your r8? Thank full for any hints, yours,

I'm now using Ubuntu Studio 13.04, I haven't tried the device out yet
on that version. If I recall, I didn't need to use any specific
driver, I think it used the ALSA USB audio & midi drivers
automagically. You have to do a little bit of config in Ardour, to
make sure you use the correct protocol. I don't think it works in
Ardour2 or MixBus, though, just Ardour3. I'm not in my studio right
now but can check it out later today. I haven't useed my Zoom R8 for a
while, actually

None at all, beyond making sure you configure it correctly for the
device (Mackie). Otherwise, it's all done through ALSA. I don't
remember to what extent it might have worked in A2 as a surface
controller, I didn't test it much, it definitely worked in A3 as a
surface controller.

Yeah, as an audio controller, if I recall, it worked out of the box as
a USB device. I haven't played with it in a while and only used the
surface controller stuff.

thank you Mr. McCoy!
Hmm... with the alsa driver i get no audio/midi detection in JACK for my R16... Like Mr. Davis is saying, i don't think ardour has alot to do with this. I believe JACK is more of a headliner in this investigation :) It's not so much of a problem in my workflow since the tracks are easily exported out of the zoom into any DAW. But it could be convenient.
Hopefully, someone more skilled than me will push the research forward. Technically i can't do anything. But what i am doing ATM is writing an impossible-to-decline email to Zoom, to try to obtain the source of the OSX drivers (wish me luck), since it seems from other threads in the ether covering the subject, that it could help the WIP.
Have a delicious week!

I'll take a look at it when I back in the studio tonight. I didn't do
much with the audio interface, but it was working for me with ALSA &
Pulseaudio (didn't try it with Jack, at least not for audio).

Hey man, I am in my studio now, here's what I am doing under Ubuntu Studio 13.04
1. Plugin USB cable to unit, turn it on
2. Press USB button on unit and activate USB functionality
3. lsub shows me this:
$ lsusb

4. aplay shows me this:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]

Turnong on jack, I get an ALSA MIDI device and Jack in/out ports.
Running a2j -e (export hardware ports), ZOOM R8 is listed under Jack
MIDI.
This is working out of the box for me, I didn't need to install and/or
configure anything.
Pulseaudio seems to work better with jack out of the box on Ubuntu Studio 13.04

Thank you very much Mr. McCoy!!!! :)
lsusb lists my device. But unfortunately, aplay -l dose not detect it.
I imagine it has something to with the fact that the r16 has 8 inputs
and there for needs a non-standard driver. But this is just my n00by
speculation.
Let's hope my very kind and respectful jedi-mail will have effect on
zoom corporation :D
Thanks again for your precious help!

Try recompiling the kernel with the following entry in
sound/usb/quirks-table.h:
{
/* ZOOM R16 in USB 2.0 mode */
USB_DEVICE(0x1686, 0x00dd),
.driver_info = (unsigned long) & (const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk) {
.ifnum = QUIRK_ANY_INTERFACE,
.type = QUIRK_COMPOSITE,
.data = (const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk[]) {
{
.ifnum = 0,
.type = QUIRK_IGNORE_INTERFACE
},
{
.ifnum = 1,
.type = QUIRK_AUDIO_STANDARD_INTERFACE
},
{
.ifnum = 2,
.type = QUIRK_AUDIO_STANDARD_INTERFACE
},
{
.ifnum = 3,
.type = QUIRK_MIDI_STANDARD_INTERFACE
},
{
.ifnum = .1

}
}
},

Thanks a million Clemens!
I will try as soon as i find out how to recompile a kernel! :) Actualy very happy to have reason to learn how to do that! Still no answer from zoom... "touching wood"

I confirm that the patch works for MIDI on a kernel 3.10.7 (gentoo)!!
Thanks a lot!!
On the other hand, audio doesn't seem to works straightforward. The
device is seen, but I was not able to make it work with jack nor aplay.
I'll do more tests...
Thanks again!,

I think it had some trouble with the sample rate or some of the other
defined arguments, but I still didn't had many time to try different
combinations...
Plus, I don't know how to change the sample rate on the device. There is
no control exposed for alsamixer, and I cannot change it from the device
itself. When I tested it, as soon I started jackd the device changed the
sample rate to 96kHz (when I was trying 48kHz from the jackd command,
and the device was at 44.1kHz before), and (q)jack(ctl)d stopped like
waiting for the device.
...
But after my previous mail I tried again with alsa_in on a running 48kHz
jackd server (Focusrite Saffire), and it worked!!!! I was able to use
all the 8 input channels!!! (my impression was an incredibly -for the
price...- clean sound!)
I tried then adding an alsa_out (at the same time than alsa_in), but it
said the device was already in use (I have a H2n and as far I can
remember I can execute both together...)
Soon I'll do more controlled tests and I'll update you. But it look so
good!! :-)
Thanks a lot!!!
Natanael.

Clemens, do you think it would be useful to do some sort of sniffing on
the USB using an official driver inside a Virtual Machine for getting
the controls?
If you think so tell me and I'll give a try. [1]
Best regards,
Natanael.
[1] A great tutorial on that (thanks Robin!):

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!! This is GREAT NEWS!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
Thank you Clement and Natanael!!! I haven't had time to fiddle with
kernel recompiling yet, but as soon as i get my hands arround the
process, i will try to compile all the information you gather to make
some nice how-to for future users.

I'm using the R16 as MIDI controller [R16 -> a2jmidid (alsa midi)->
(jack midi) ardour3] and audio capture [R16 -> alsa_in (alsa device with
8 input channels) -> ffado jack host].
It seems to work quite well when is running, but there is something not
fine:
- it takes a long time to the device to appears as an alsa device since
it is detected from the kernel module
- at least when it is not used (but I think it can occurs even when
streaming) it seems to block ALSA for moments. Meanwhile alsa seems is
unresponsive. Trying to start qjackctl (just open the frontend, not even
starting jack) opened an unresponsive widget. As soon I disconnected the
USB from the R16, the buttons and the control of the widget appeared.
- I was with the above described chain (jack + R16 alsa_in) , and all
the audio devices suddenly hanged. I saw in the R16 the sample rate at
96kHz (when it was -as JACK- at 48kHz)
A dmesg shows this :

Any hint?

This post was updated on .
I am so glad to see progress with the R16. I am available to test/debug (w/ ubuntu studio 13.10) and help out any way possible!
Kernel recompile works, but i am also experiencing freezeups. I do know that the R16 itself is capable of running as 8 independent 96k inputs in windows...perhaps it is a matter of limiting that function on the unit itself, or explicitly prohibiting it in alsa/jack config. I will test a bit and post tomorrow.
Thank you all!
ALSO: bit depth is locked at 24 in zoom firmware when running in usb audio interface mode! Clock can be 44.1/48/88.2 or 96
UPDATE: Confirmed that R16 acts as slave with DAW as master clock, so the sample rate on the R16 in "audio interface mode" is set by DAW software (in our case, from JACK with Ardour inheriting the settings from the engine). So looks like JACK config will be the solution. I will start testing variables in JACK config and post results if I find stable settings.
UPDATE #2: Well, getting nowhere with JACK. But the built-in LADI-Session Handler for Ubuntu Studio did a great job with default settings... I have been recording 24-bit/96K test tracks on all 8 inputs at once. No crashes/freezups!! But to do this I had to completely disable playback... this is AMAZING progress!!
