Hi guys,
I'm going to buy one of these cards, and I was wondering what about the
differences from one to each other and concernig ALSA's support.
By ALSA's website seems they are completly supported, but I would like to
have some users' confimations.
On RME website I focused this words:
HDSP 9652 is the long-awaited successor of the well-known PCI card Project
Hammerfall (DIGI9652). Like the original Hammerfall, HDSP 9652 offers 3 x
ADAT optical I/O, ADAT-Sync In, SPDIF I/O and word clock I/O. On top, there
are 2 MIDI I/Os and TotalMix, a DSP-based real-time mixer/router.
apart from MIDI I/Os which I do not care about, I didn't understand what
TotalMix will do on HDSP9652 and under Linux.
Thanks in advance to anyone who will help!

Hi Michele,
The hardware mixer that comes with the HDSP 9652 is a very flexible way
of controlling the way audio signals are routed inside the card.
Basically you can route any incoming signal or software playback channel
to any physical output with a gain ranging from -oo dB to +6 dB. This is
done in hardware, so it doesn't impact the cpu load in any way, and is
very low latency (2 samples). The card also does hardware peak and RMS
calculation on all channels. Totalmix is the frontend provided by RME to
control this hardware mixer and display the meters. I wrote a linux
clone of this application, hdspmixer, that's shipped with the alsa-tools
package.

oh yeah, Michele, when I mentioned hdspmixer, here's the guy :) He and a
couple of other folk are the badasses that helped me get mine running too,
although, what's funny is I don't think we officially ever fixed the problem
I was having *LAUGH* it just works now (magic touch?)

hey there - i have the HDSP 9652 and love it - it was a bit of a pain to get
it really working at first, because there was a driver issue that we (the
linux audio community in general) were having a hard time ironing out. the
issue didn't exist with the digi9652 card that was almost exactly the same,
just the HDSP 9652
in reality though you have to consider what other gear you have - the 9652
was necessary for me because I needed it to interface via ADAT light pipe to
24 channels on my digital mixer. But if I didn't have the digital mixer to
do my A/D conversion, the 9652 would've been wrong because it doesn't have a
breakout box with analog inputs like the multiface or something else - the
HDSP 9652 has 24 channels optical i/o and a stereo spdif - that's the only
in and out of that card...
TotalMix doesn't run under linux, it doesn't matter. Under linux, you'll be
using a program called hdspmixer - it's the exact same thing (am I
remembering that right? yes I think so)
what is your studio/other gear situation like?
