Crash on startup with Behringer UMC1820

[wjakobczyk]

I'm getting:

Assertion 'uchunk->index % bq->base == 0' failed at ../src/pulsecore/memblockq.c:289, function pa_memblockq_push(). Aborting.

on startup of friture-0.51-20240722.AppImage. Log is:

When I turn off my Behringer UMC1820 interface friture starts ok.

Thanks for the report @wjakobczyk, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Is there a change this is fixed with a newer Linux distribution? I assume your Behringer audio interface works well in other programs ?

I'm afraids it's still the same crash. And yes, other than that no issues with the Behringer. I'll be happy to help in investigating, just let me know what data you need.

I seem to have the same issue. When I try to switch to my UMC204HD, it fails with following error:
