[linux-audio-user] RME HDSP PCMCIA Problems

Hi, I have installed Planet CCRMA Fedora Core 1 on a Dell inspiron laptop with a RME hammerfall/multiface setup. I ran alsaconf and it set up the card with no complaints. Running hdsploader makes the 'host error' light go off on the multiface. I have recorded and played back audacity and played files with xmms. That's where the joy ends though. I have the following problems: * pd will not run - it gives this output: using non-interleaved audio input Sample width set to 4 bytes ALSA: set input channels to 14 ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:324:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed: Device or resource busy snd_pcm_hw_params (input): Device or resource busy pd: pcm.c:4973: snd_pcm_sw_params_current: Assertion `pcm->setup' failed. Pd: signal 6 Aborted * ardour won't run, output is: Ardour/GTK 0.554.0 running with libardour 0.855.0 Copyright 1999-2004 Paul Davis Ardour comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details Loading UI configuration file /etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc Aborted * rosegarden says audio not working * jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw -r 44100 outputs: loading driver .. apparent rate = 44100 creating alsa driver ... hw|hw|1024|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit configuring for 44100Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods .... and does not get any further. I have experienced linux alot as a user on a system someone else adminstrated, but have no experience setting up hardware or anything like that so I'm a bit clueless. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks, Aengus. _________________ Aengus Martin
