Brings back memories :-(
I have had a Digiface for, a few of years now. When I first setup my
unit, I was using a pci card for the interface. Which worked pretty
well. Then I got my thinkpad, and a pcmcia card. This did not work as
well, to start with. I fought for many a night to make it work, so I
could go mobile. I made sure the firmware loaded, channels were unmuted,
the card was seen by alsa .... The reseller I purchsed the card from,
even checked out the card, found nothing wrong, and returned a different
card and a new cord, just in case. I finally ended up shipping the whole
thing to Paul, so he could see for himself. After a couple of weeks it
was discovered that the pcmcia card I had recieved, had was new version,
which did not get along with the firmware code that hdsploader was
loading.
So I guess you should check the hardware version of the pcmcia card. Did
you buy it new recently, I would guess so. Maybe the multiface box is
causing the issue.
i do have some new "firmware" for the hdsp series too. its just that to
date, nobody has needed it. CCRMA got several RME HDSP's around xmas,
including a pcmcia device, and it has all just worked with current ALSA
for them.
