Hi all, sorry if I'm wearing out people's eyes with so much rme troubleshooting... but I'm not quite ready to give up on my $1,300 investment (although close, seeing as how I've only been able to fix about 10% of my problems with the card). So my second output is sometimes just spitting out digital noise. It didn't (for the first time in since it happened) earlier today, but since then I have rebooted and it is back. I have tried the card under windows and I don't have any problems there. Output channels 1 and 3 are fine, most likely the rest are too. Any ideas?

wrong/not-yet-supported-on-linux firmware version. search the archives (this issue has shown up several times, including the last few days), coordinate with other users, send some dollars and i'll fix the ALSA driver. in the meantime downgrade to an older firmware version. i wish i could offer it for free, but i can't. if someone else wants to fix it, ask me for the files (and nothing else). --p

I've been trying to figure out how to downgrade the firmware version for about a year... every post I find suggests this, but no one says how to do it. The Windows software offered on the RME website only upgrades to version 53 (which is 35 in hex... haha from my other post). As for fixing the driver, I understand how busy you are Paul and how much you have already done for the Linux community. Thanks! I wish I could help... maybe I can if others are interested who know alot about ALSA and how to debug its problems.. regards, Rich On 3/13/07, Paul Davis <paul(a)linuxaudiosystems.com> wrote:

Alright, I downgraded to version 11 (hex 32?) and I have all the exact same problems: channel 2 sounds like dooky and 44.1k/48k samplerates produce periodic discontinuitues. Does anyone have a copy of firmware-loader for version 10 or earlier? Thanks for helping, Rich On 3/14/07, Emmanuel Saracco <esaracco(a)free.fr> wrote:

version. i wish i could offer it for free, but i can't. if someone else wants to fix it, ask me for the files (and nothing else).

Are you talking about files that are already in the last kernel archive under "sound/pci/rme9652/"? I have added a "Hardware" section to the "How to create music with GNU/Linux" tutorial: http://esaracco.free.fr/documentations/linuxaudio/ It is still a work in progress (however the RME HDSP part should be finished soon), but I hope this will help...

You're quoting the wrong person - it was Paul who said this.
