An another reason may be the firmware version. As far as I know, last alsa
dirver is known to work with cards up to version 1.52. Has anybody any info
about 1.53?

What does 'lspci | grep RME' show at the end of line ("rev XX")? Just convert
this number from hex do decimal (i.e. "rev 98" corresponds to v.1.52).


===================

BTW, another question about alsa 1.0.14 and HDSP firmware 1.52. 192KHz sample
rate doesn't work for me (but works fine with, say, 1.0.14RC3). I have submited
a bug, but still have not got any reaction from the alsa development team:

Does this issue exist for me only?
