I have searched around the internet, and mostly all I can find are forum posts, from people trying to get it to work, that remain unsolved. I tried out ArtistX, thinking that it might work right out of the box, but it wasn't available as an input source.

Hi John,

Have you checked ALSA's website to see if it supports your device?  I
was in a similar situation when I bought my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 a
couple years ago.  The company supports Windows and Mac only, but
after searching the database I found it is supported it OOTB.  See the
link below.

While there is a link for AKAI devices in the list, you will need to
know your device's chipset.  Hope that helps!
