Ropieee with Motu 8A (8 Channel USB DAC)

Hi,

I’m trying to plug my Motu 8A DAC to do multichannel with Roon but it is not working with Ropieee (it works under Mac and Windows).

It is detected in Roon but when I hit play no sound is played.
I’ve created a report under ID d3c5d13099ab8d20 and attached my alsa-info.txt.
The only error seen is in RAAT log:
05/29 22:49:14 Error: [RAAT::8A] error in failed to snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels exactly. trying to set max channels instead: Invalid argument (-22)

I’m stuck :frowning:
Any help appreciated.
