I'm having problems getting sound into or out of my RME 9652.
For input, I'm connecting the toslink output of a DAT deck to the
ADAT1 input of the RME. When I do arecord -f DAT this.wav, I get
nothing but zeroes.
For input, I'm connecting the toslink output the RME's ADAT1 to the
digital input of an Adcom preamp. When I connect the DAT deck optical
out to the Adcom preamp digital in, I get beautiful music. But when I
run aplay knowngood.wav, I get no sound.
I have tested the toslink cables, the digital output of the DAT deck,
and the digital input of the Adcom preamp, and all work fine. When
I'm connecting the cables, I notice that there is laser light coming
out of the cable connected to the RME's ADAT1 output.
I am using the CVS version of ALSA checked out Wednesday, May 1,
2002. I'm appending the following information in case it helps:
. output of uname -a
. output of cat /proc/interrupts
. output of cat /proc/devices
. output of cat /proc/asound/cards
. output of cat /proc/asound/card0/rme9652
. output of lsmod before and after modprobe snd-rme9652
. error messages from alsaconf
. output of amixer -d controls
. output of aplay -L
. output of aplay -v yes__ive_seen_all_good_people__your_move.wav
. output of arecord -v -f dat this.wav
. error seen in /var/log/messages
I have scoured the FAQ, Usenet, and the web for solutions to this, but
I haven't found anything yet. Since every third FAQ says that ALSA
comes with the mixers muted, that was the first thing I tried, but it
appears that the RME doesn't even have a mixer, and so there is no
muting or unmuting to do. The alsaconf program returns a ton of
errors, and saves a file of zero length (whether I have the sound
modules loaded or not). Can anyone point me to the appropriate
document? Is there any other debugging information I can provide?
Thanks,
Dave
