Ok. I use only "snd-hdsp" now.

Ok. I use only "hdspmixer" now.

I also tried to remove a lot of modules. Now I have only the following:

-----
$ lsmod | grep snd
snd_hdsp               43812  0
snd_rawmidi            18848  1 snd_hdsp
snd_seq_device          7180  1 snd_rawmidi
snd_pcm                59908  1 snd_hdsp
snd_timer              18692  1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          8328  2 snd_hdsp,snd_pcm
snd_hwdep               7428  1 snd_hdsp
snd                    41828  6
snd_hdsp,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep
soundcore               7008  1 snd

Problems remains. Mixer levels are ok (graphics moves up/down), but
still no sound.

Really? :-(

Sorry to bother you with this point, but: how can one downgrade HDSP
9632 firmware (RME firmware update Windows tool only upgrade it and I
found no howto on how downgrade it)?

Should I have bought a 9652 instead (common mixers work with this one?)?

Thanks for your time,

Bye
