I'm having a hard time bringing my new RME pci
interface and Multiface
to run... and would appreciate some help ;-)
And I have got a *lot* of help on the list and by PM.
I'd like to say thank you very much to everybody who helped me!
The problem was my firmware version. I had version 10 and have upgraded
to version 11. Now everything I have tested so far works like expected!
Some important steps that I had missed on the path of setting up a
RME Hammerfall DSP card (in my case a PCI interface and a multiface)
on a Linux box using ALSA:
* You can determine the firmware version by doing 'lspci -vv'
* Firmware version 10 (0a) did not work for me,
version 11 (0b) seems to run fine as far as I can tell by now.
(This version is the current version on the RME webside).
* If you use the snd-hdsp module you have to call hdsploader from alsa-tools
after loading the module.
* Things like un-muting, setting channel levels and channel routing is done
in hdspmixer from alsa-tools.
* Settings like Clock sync, sample rate and type of SPDIF in/out are set
by the program called 'hdspconf'.
