[linux-audio-user] Re: RME hammerfall DSP Multiface: help needed

I can report a small success :-) Robert Epprecht <epprecht(a)solnet.ch> writes: was trying out this and that, (but had *not* used any amixer commands in this session) I noticed suddenly that some of the analog inputs had started to display some very low signal *numbers*. I had only seen them displaying -infinity before. When I plugged in a sound source the input meter *did* show the signal. I have no idea, why the signal is shown now, and never was before. (I had tried a few times before). Very confusing. I was not able to get an output signal, whether on the output jacks nor displayed by the meters. Of course I have tried to set routing, faders and un-muting, but had no success. While the higher number (analog) inputs still showed -infinity they changed to display the noise floor as soon I had plugged a cable to the inputs, and continued to do so, even when I unplugged the cable. Under 'another' OS I have seen them behave like this, so I think this is normal (I don't remember having seen -infinity there, only the noise floor, but this could be an accident). I'll try to find out under what conditions the signal starts to show up and will report what I find... Robert
