Hello,
thank you very much for your kind reply, I will try to be
more specific;
I'm using the old LTS Ubuntu (10.4 Lucid Lynx).
I saw
here http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16104:
_"SINCE
FIRMWARE 200 THE BABYFACE OPERATES IN THREE DIFFERENT MODES:
DRIVER-BASED USB 2, STAND-ALONE MODE, AND CLASS COMPLIANT MODE. THE
LATTER DESCRIBES A STANDARD THAT IS NATIVELY SUPPORTED BY OPERATING
SYSTEMS LIKE WINDOWS, MAC OSX AND LINUX. NO PROPRIETARY DRIVERS ARE
REQUIRED, THE DEVICE WILL BE DIRECTLY RECOGNIZED WHEN CC MODE IS
ACTIVATED. OBVIOUSLY, NATIVE FEATURES WILL BE LIMITED IN COMPARISON TO
THOSE PROVIDED BY THE RME DRIVER SET. FOR EXAMPLE THERE WILL BE NO
(TOTAL) MIX AND NO EFFECTS._"
(as Clemens said)
It should allow the
BabyFace to work with Linux without specific driver, just as generic
AD/DA converter (whiwh is exactly what I want).
Eventually I followed
the instructions
here
http://www.rme-audio.de/download/cc_mode_babyface_e.pdf without
success.
Here is what shows up after a dmesg command (at the end):
[
3589.920289] usb 1-7.2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 11
[ 3590.030407] usb 1-7.2: config 1 has an invalid descriptor
of length 0, skipping remainder of the config
[ 3590.031021] usb 1-7.2:
configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
I then saw here that ALSA seems
to have a bug:
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg28935.html
Unfortunately,
after the change I had this message coming with the dmesg:
[
54.310238] usb 1-7.2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 6
[ 54.420381] usb 1-7.2: config 1 has an invalid descriptor of
length 0, skipping remainder of the config
[ 54.420975] usb 1-7.2:
configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 54.480227] usbcore: registered
new interface driver snd-usb-audio
As a test I listen to the headphone
out of the BabyFace but I never heard anything so far.
Would you have
any clue?

Your kernel must be new enough.
Do know how new it has to
be?
I thank you very much for any help!
Have a nice
day,
Camille

I wish
to use a RME BabyFace [1] with Ubuntu. Did someone do it
once? Does a
driver exist for such RME product?
Someone told me that
it's possible
but so far I couldn't find
how.
Thank you for your
reply,
Best
regards,
Camille

You should rephrase your request. What features
of this device do you
want to use with Linux? And then ask if somebody
really has used the
card on Linux using those features.
I did miss
to ask this. My card, another RME, has got a driver, can be
used with
Linux, but not with the features I
need. I'll keep my card,
but in
addition I'll buy it's
predecessor to get what I need for my
Linux
DAW.
Regards,
Ralf

Which Ubuntu?

Yes. It requires that the Babyface runs in Class Compliant
mode.

Your kernel must be new enough.
