Hi all,
So I've had a ton of problems getting my RME Multiface to work on a laptop
running Ubuntu. When I first installed the OS (6.10 edgy), I had to compile
the ALSA drivers, tools, and firmware before anything would work (I used v.
1.0.13). Even then, things were hairy, which I won't get into in this
post. But I will say that I could never get the build in intel soundcard to
work, unfortunately.
Well, yesterday that switched. I did an apt-get update and a system update,
then the hdsp wouldn't load! I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/downloads/alsa-firmware-1.0.13$ hdspconf
HDSPConf 1.4 - Copyright (C) 2003 Thomas Charbonnel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This program comes WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY
HDSPConf is free software, see the file copying for details
Looking for HDSP cards :
Card 0 : HDA Intel at 0xd2500000 irq 66
Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0x8c000000, irq 169
Uninitialized HDSP card found.
Use hdsploader to upload configuration data to the card.
No Hammerfall DSP card found.
hdsploader doesn't seem to be installed when I compile all the
1.0.13files from the ALSA website, so I installed
1.0.11 with synaptic. However, it won't init still:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hdsploader
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : HDA Intel at 0xd2500000 irq 66
Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0x8c000000, irq 169
Upload firmware for card hw:1
Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error.
Now, I get just reistall the 1.0.13 drivers, because they have obviously
been changed ( is there a way to check this? a log or something?), but
surpisingly enough the build in soundcard works now! I don't want to loose
it's functionality, so I would rather find a way to get the RME card working
initialized with the current driver. Any suggestions from the pros?
Regards,
Rich
