Hi Rob,

Could you please check the alsa version used by your running kernel (cat 
/proc/asound/version) ? I suspect that you still have an old alsa 
version, because the hammerfall_mem module is no more used to allocate 
the buffer's memory. I you happen to have an old version of alsa, it is 
probable that your card revision (0x32) was not supported at the time. 
Updating to alsa 1.0.2 should solve the problem.
