[linux-audio-user] RE: [PlanetCCRMA] snd-hdsp module load failed???

Hey there HDSP buddy, I mentioned the other day (somewhere on some list) that there were a few things I wanted Thomas to look at, but I didn't want to ask before he got the big patch he was working on into CVS. Do you remember me saying that?;-) You just found one of them. I get this periodically. I just reboot my box, sometimes warm, and sometimes cold, and it comes back. The worst I've seen is two boots. I have no idea why it happens, but it has on my machine. Also, don't be too worried if one of these days you have booted the machine, and maybe you've used audio for a while, and then machine sits for a few hours, and then you come back to find out you cannot start hdspmixer. You Alt-Ctrl-F1 into the console only to find a message about 'No HDSP cards found'. This one is quite strange. It's like the modules get loaded, not used, and deleted. I know Fernando has some instructions about turning off auto-clean, which I thought I did, but possibly Gentoo is a bit different in that respect. I wanted Thomas to look at that, presuming I didn't find a solution first. Other things you might stumble on to include some problem with the spdif input on the card getting disconnected only if hdspmixer is left open. I can play my guitar for hours through that input if I first close hdspmixer, but only for a minute or two with it open. However, if I change the spdif input to professional or some other setting, the input comes back for another two minutes... Weird 'eh? ;-) And then we have this weekend's testing job if you've followed Nick Arnold's thread about his pseudo 96KHz problem where some bytes are out of order. That would truly effect both you and I, if it turns out to be true. This driver works, but we ain't at 1.0 yet. ;-) Cheers, Mark
