Ok,
I have a dvd-rom drive that i have connected the digital out (2-pin) to the cd-in connection on the RME9636. I am sure that the hardware is corrected properly. However I get no sound when playing cds in XMMS or DVDs in Xine. Paul Davis thought that you could to connect this to a cd-rom drive output, but i have called a few vendors and the believe this is not the case. Therefore I am convinced that there is a setting in asound.state that I need to set, but I'm not sure what it is. Here are my asound/state settings: state.card0 { control.1 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type IEC958 iface PCM name 'IEC958 Playback Default' value '0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' } control.2 { comment.access 'read write inactive' comment.type IEC958 iface PCM name 'IEC958 Playback PCM Stream' value '0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' } control.3 { comment.access read comment.type IEC958 iface MIXER name 'IEC958 Playback Con Mask' value '3b00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' } control.4 { comment.access read comment.type IEC958 iface MIXER name 'IEC958 Playback Pro Mask' value '1f00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' } control.5 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type ENUMERATED comment.item.0 ADAT1 comment.item.1 Coaxial comment.item.2 Internal iface PCM name 'IEC958 Input Connector' value Internal } control.6 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN iface PCM name 'IEC958 Output also on ADAT1' value false } control.7 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type ENUMERATED comment.item.0 AutoSync comment.item.1 Master comment.item.2 'Word Clock' iface PCM name 'Sync Mode' value AutoSync } control.8 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type ENUMERATED comment.item.0 'IEC958 In' comment.item.1 'ADAT1 In' comment.item.2 'ADAT2 In' iface PCM name 'Preferred Sync Source' value 'ADAT1 In' } control.9 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN iface PCM name 'Channels Thru' value.0 false value.1 false value.2 false value.3 false value.4 false value.5 false value.6 false value.7 false value.8 false value.9 false value.10 false value.11 false value.12 false value.13 false value.14 false value.15 false value.16 true value.17 true } control.10 { comment.access read comment.type INTEGER comment.range '0 - 96000' iface PCM name 'IEC958 Sample Rate' value -1 } control.11 { comment.access read comment.type ENUMERATED comment.item.0 'No Lock' comment.item.1 Lock comment.item.2 'No Lock Sync' comment.item.3 'Lock Sync' iface PCM name 'ADAT1 Sync Check' value 'No Lock' } control.12 { comment.access read comment.type ENUMERATED comment.item.0 'No Lock' comment.item.1 Lock comment.item.2 'No Lock Sync' comment.item.3 'Lock Sync' iface PCM name 'ADAT2 Sync Check' value 'No Lock' } control.13 { comment.access read comment.type ENUMERATED comment.item.0 'No Lock' comment.item.1 Lock comment.item.2 'No Lock Sync' comment.item.3 'Lock Sync' iface PCM name 'ADAT3 Sync Check' value 'No Lock' } control.14 { comment.access read comment.type BOOLEAN iface PCM name 'Timecode Valid' value false } control.15 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN iface PCM name Passthru value false } control.16 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type ENUMERATED comment.item.0 ADAT1 comment.item.1 Internal iface PCM name 'ADAT1 Input Source' value ADAT1 } doing a proc /proc/asound/card0/rme9652 i get : RME Digi9636 (Rev 1.5) (Card #1) Buffers: capture dec00000 playback dea00000 IRQ: 5 Registers bus: 0xd4000000 VM: 0xe0d5a000 Control register: 800f Latency: 8192 samples (2 periods of 32768 bytes) Hardware pointer (frames): 0 Passthru: no Clock mode: autosync Pref. sync source: ADAT1 ADAT1 Input source: ADAT1 optical IEC958 input: Internal IEC958 output: Coaxial only IEC958 quality: Consumer IEC958 emphasis: off IEC958 Dolby: off IEC958 sample rate: error flag set ADAT Sample rate: 44100Hz ADAT1: No Lock ADAT2: No Lock ADAT3: No Lock Timecode signal: no Punch Status: 1: off 2: off 3: off 4: off 5: off 6: off 7: off 8: off 9: off 10: off 11: off 12: off 13: off 14: off 15: off 16: off 17: on 18: on ok what attracts me attention is that I have set the IEC958 (coax) connection to internal, which i belive to be the cdrom connection. I'm not sure what passthu is supposed to be set to. Any ideas?
