Good point. I actually *did* find this, but it was after I wrote the
email last night (I didn't send it straight away!)
I'll look into this again tomorrow, and get back to you...
[I had to work late today. I was installing an 8 serial port DigiBoard
into a dual Xeon server running RedHat 9. We hit all sorts of problems.
It turned out that the bloody server was just too damn fast for it's own
good, so I've got to cook up a way to delay some of my startup scripts.
Then I was stuck in traffic for three hours.]
It's just nice to know that someone cares enough to try! You've helped
me clarify my thoughts a little already. I'm sure I'll get there eventually.
Thanks very much

Hi Michael,
Sorry for the troubles...

Yes. There is one from the ADA8000 to the RME 9636, and one in the other

Hi all,
I have a fully up-to-date PlanetCCRMA FC3 machine - 700Mhz P3 with about
640MB of RAM.
I bought a cheap second-hand RME Hammerfall 9636 recently, in the
knowledge that it was untested.
OK...
I've plugged the card in, and run alsaconf. I
can start jack with
qjackctl, and connect my audio applications to all of the cards inputs
and outputs, and so on.
Sounds good so far.
I have a Behringer ADA8000 connected to the first
lightpipe output.
The ADA8000 has two ADAT cables, correct? Have you connected both of
them? Does the ADA8000 have clock rate indicators? Does the clock rate
follow the rate you set in QJackCTL?
However, I'm having difficulties getting a
clean output - whichever
software I use...
For example, when I play audio, and route it to output 1, all I can hear
is some approximation of white noise, until the volume gets to somewhere
near maximum - when I can hear a very distorted version of the original
sound.
Does this help at all?
A bit. I thought we were supposed to be able to look at this cards
settings using amixer but so far it shows me nothing for the 9636
while it shows me lots for the AP2496. I'll look at that a bit more
but maybe you know how to use amixer or have some better info on this?
Basically I'm thinking we need to see the card's settings... I'm
*hoping* that I've just done something wrong, and that the card
isn't fried. ALSA detected the card fine though, for what it's worth.
I have a 9636 (same card) with all 4 ADAT cables going to two I/Os on
my HDSP 9652.
I always watch the 9636 indirectly by using hdspconf on the HDSP 9652
end. It just works and I don't have issues.
Wish I could be of more help.
