Dear list,
I am currently trying to set up an RME multiface under Linux. I am
running a 2.6.9 kernel with ACPI patches, the Nitro 4/Con Kolivas
patches, and the latest LSM module. I am running ALSA 1.0.8rc1 compiled
as modules from Source.
Most things work well. I have Jack running in realtime with very few
Xruns. PD and Audacity also work OK so far as I can tell.
I have three problems:
1/ The no audio can be heard from the Multiface unless the HDSPmixer app
has been opened once.
2/ The inputs meters on the HDSPmixer are constantly showing around -7dB
even though there is no input.
3/ There are constant clicks when playing from DVD, regardless of
whether I use Xine or Mplayer, OSS or ALSA. Playback is fine if I use
the internal Intel sound card.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Jamie

My HDSP 9652 is the same way. I also have to run hdspconf once and set
the sampling rate to 44.1K by hand as it always comes up in 48K mode
when Linux starts.
I don't know how to fix either of these, although I suspect that some
aconnect command in a script might help with your specific issue.
Possibly the DVD clicks are due to the sampling rate being wrong?
Good luck,

My Multiface works the same way, although with the stock FC3 kernel
the meters are fine, no -7dB levels hanging around for no good
reason. Of course this unpatched kernel is not useful for everything
else.
On the DVD issue, I think this is just a problem with the way the
audio is being handled by these apps (no mmap, or something). Mplayer
in particular would not work for me unless I send the audio through
the SDL plug:
mplayer -ao sdl
This works great for me for DVD's.

I think Takashi just committed a patch to solve some of these issues.
The next ALSA release should improve the situation.
