I appreciate the help. I actually have a M-Audio delta 1010LT. I found i could not play two streams at the same time. So i hooked things up to the intelHD (onboard sound) and was amazed at how much better it sounded. I was dumbstruck. A cloudiness was gone and imaging was much more precise. I don't know what to say save that my intelhd may have advanced past the Delta 1010LT. It's an old card and this board is only year old. -- Bearcat M.

problems with hdsp multiface

by krgn

hello list, I have a x86_64 debian setup (lenny/sid) with rt-kernel and ran all of this with a rme multiface mark 2 card. until today, that is when the card suddenly stopped working. It fails with this error: [ 2618.484513] pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 [ 2618.540382] RME Hammerfall DSP 0000:16:00.0: enabling device (0080 -> 0082) [ 2618.540555] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:16:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 2620.541147] ALSA /home/krgn/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.18a/pci/rme9652/../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:659: Hammerfall-DSP: no Digiface or Multiface connected!

I'm really puzzled by this as it all used to work great yesterday and now it doesn't find the card no more?? I also wonder how I can find out what exactly error -5 is. it seems that -16 is when the firmware is missing, but this is not the case here. I am really really puzzled as to whats going on as the setup worked flawlessly until yesterday. the only thing that has changed since yesterday is that I disconnected the unit from the computer, went out on a trip and reconnected it. does anyone have an idea what could be my problem here? thanks in advance, karsten

surround sound with stereo usb DACs?

by Bearcat M. Şandor

Folks, I'm slowly building a hi-fi surround system around Trends Audio products. They have a nice, little, stereo usb DAC. I am really only looking at wanting 4 channels for now. I have something like 8 usb2 ports on this computer so i have plenty. Can i have my player (xine or mplayer or what have you) decode the signal be it dolby digital, dts, or the blu-ray formats (ha) into channels and then send (right and left) out of one usb port and (right rear and left rear) out of a second usb port to a pair of these stereo DACs. I assume if i eventually wanted an 8 channel system i could so the same thing with more channels? Is this feasible? Any drawbacks? Also, those Trends Audio TA-10.1 are awesome. Thanks. -- Bearcat M.

In my experience usb audio = evil. PCI/firewire/pcmcia are all ok ;) Loki

no software mixer in usb soundcard - possible workarround?

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I have an Edirol UA-1A usb soundcard, that I started using in my server with mpd as a music playing device. Most mpd clients has a volume knob that worked with the crappy build-in soundcard, but not with the usb one. I seem to remember that I never saw anything in my gnome mixer for this soundcard, and also has a vague idea that it simply might not have a mixer buildin or it's not supported by alsa. Long story short: Is this just me misconfiguring it (if so what could be wrong) or is there a software solution to allow me to change the volume of the soundcard from mpd clients? -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk

Hi, As a matter of fact I do. I just forgot to include it in the original email. If you use the promo code AUDIO, you'll receive a 50% discount off a full price pass. Thanks!
