I tried for so long to get my motu 828es to play nice on cachyos. Ended up getting a nice focusrite since it is much more compatible, did a bunch of tweaks to get latency right down, and now Reaper just crashes for no reason after about an hour or so of use flips table

    I've also not had great luck with MOTU devices (624, 8pre-es). Granted AFAIK, they're still not supported in mainline kernel, but I found a few kernel modules on github. Those kernel modules work in that the audio interfaces are detected and I can play audio, but after a couple mins (sometimes immediately), it sounds like I'm getting buffer under runs even if I max out my buffers. If I disconnect and reconnect the devices it will sometimes work for another few mins. They work perfectly on windows. My preferred DAW is also windows only, but I can run a windows VM and do USB pass through on the either of the audio interfaces (other is connected via AVB), and it works great. So this is how I do audio, but this also means I'm using onboard audio for everything except the windows VM.
