<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Harry, Hi Ralf,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the fast answers.<br>
<br>
Harry, in fact you did not quite answer question 1 : do I have
to use hdsploader ? Put it another way, would the card be
recognized if the firmware is not ok? This firmware question is
not clear for me : I fear to corrupt the card's windows
firmware if I run hdsploader. Maybe that's completely wrong...<br>
<br>
I agree that using amixer seems to be a horrible way to work,
but I could not manage to get anything out of hdspmixer... There
is no way to change the routes it loads by default ! clicking on
the playback labels doesn't allow to check or uncheck existing
boxes.<br>
<br>
This is why I wonder if there isn't anything wrong with my
setup, namely : would the use of hdsploader change hdspmixer's
behaviour ?<br>
<br>
Thank you <br>
<br>
François<br>

<div>HdspLoader and HdspMixer are two programs that will
intereact with the RME devices: the first provides the
firmware it needs to run, the second interacts with the
device just like amixer, only provides a sane GUI :D</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Basically, since the RME has a routing matrix
built-in, using amixer will provide every single
control, which will be a totally horrible way to work.
Since HdspMixer provides a good way to interact with the
sub-mixes, its advised ;)</div>

<pre wrap="">I bought the HDSPe AIO in May 2011, after it was recommended on this
list or LAD. Until today 3 1/2 years later I never could get it working
correctly using hdspmixer on Linux. To test the sound card I installed
FreeBSD first and then Windows XP. The sound card isn't broken and I
know how to handle totalmix under Windows. However, I'm only using
Linux and so assumed you should find out how to get all 8 ADAT IOs
accessible by jackd, please let me know. On my machine only ADAT
channel 1 and 2 are available by jackd.
Regards,
Ralf

<pre wrap="">S: Assumed you want to use a frequency > 48 KHz, then you first need to
select it using alsamixer, before you can start jackd.
