Hello everybody!
I am trying to get a RME Multiface working under Linux (ubuntu with RME
Cardbus on Notebook). At the moment I managed to get the first 2 channels
playing and recording by adressing them as plughw:1/ plughw:1,0 or
plughw:1,0,0. If I change the numbers to plughw:1,1 or so to adress channels
3+4 it doesn't work.
Is anybody out there who already has his Multiface working and can give any
help?
Thank you for reading!
Martin

Have you opened up the hdspmixer tool? You really should be using that
to configure your channels. I think there is an issue also that you
need to open it up at least once for the audio to work properly in
ALSA. The tool is almost exactly the same as the one for Windows.

Yes, I opened up hdspmixer. And yes you have to open it to set volumes other
than 0. Channels 1+2 are working already now, but the other channels don't,
though the volumes are set in the hdspmixer.
I hope that there is anybody out there who has a RME Multiface working and
can tell me how to either configure .asoundrc or how to use the plughw:
command right.
Thanks for your help!

I am sending another request because I think this describes my problem
better, Thanks to everybody reading!
I want to use a RME Multiface soundcard with PCMCIA Cardbus Card on a Dell
Notebook with Ubuntu.
I installed all alsa drivers and other available tools for the RME card
successfully and if I do:
aplay -D plughw:1 track1.wav
I can hear sound and see playback on PCM channels 1+2 in the hdspmixer,
which is a special softwaremixer for this card.
Now the card has 8 in and 8 output channels, and though I am able to send
the sound from PCM channels 1+2 to all physical outputs via the routing
functionalities of the hdspmixer, I need 6 more PCM channels to play through
all 8 physical channels independently. If I do:
aplay -l or: cat /proc/asound/devices
I get only one digital playback device which is the 2 channels already
working as plughw:1. Where are my other PCM channels??
Thank you for any help!!!

Isn't it posible for you to install qjackctl on your X-system ? that
gives you a graphical view of things. I use only the line-out on my
multiface to monitor the different channels, and that means I route all
playback signals to out 1+2.

No, it's an application controlling the hardware mixer of your card.

With such a card you'd normally be using JACK wich will give each app
access to any combination of channels it wants to use. Forget direct
ALSA for anything above plain stereo.

this won't work. the hw:N device requires the input format to match the
h/w caps (channel count, SR, bit depth, interleaved, etc. etc.)
my understanding was that ALSA's default handling of routing an N
channel signal to M channels where N>M is that the N get mapped to all M
in a repeating fashion. maybe this has been changed, and you just get
the first N channels, with the rest silent.
martin, there is no way to use just ALSA device addressing to specify
specific channels. you would have to set up an ALSA pseudo-device with a
"route" specification to do this. its probably not what you want.
as was mentioned, just using JACK will be much easier.

The channels starts up muted, but you don't need hdspmixer to set
them.
