Re: [Alsa-user] GUI hdspmixer necessary for HDSP 9652?!
[Reposting to whole list. Ooops] Hi Christian, I cannot help you with item 1. However, item 2 was something that bit me when I wanted a headless setup using a HDSP9652. I agree, things are pretty clunky. I believe it is a safety feature that all of the hardware mixer values are set to 0 at startup. hdspmixer does indeed set these to more useful values when run. Thankfully, there is support for setting the matrix mixer settings in amixer as well. I had a script that I ran at startup which set things how I needed. The numbering of the channels may make you scratch your head for a few minutes :) Behold! The following: #!/bin/sh # Route software outputs 9-16 to the ADA8000 (on ADAT2 Out) /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 34,8,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 35,9,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 36,10,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 37,11,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 38,12,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 39,13,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 40,14,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 41,15,32768 # Route the ADAT output of the ADA8000 (on ADAT2 In) to the other machine (on ADAT3 Out) /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 8,16,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 9,17,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 10,18,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 11,19,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 12,20,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 13,21,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 14,22,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 15,23,32768 # Route channels 12 from the other machine (on ADAT3 In) to the S/PDIF output /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 16,24,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 17,25,32768 # Also route the S/PDIF playback channels (50 51) to the S/PDIF output (24 25) /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 50,24,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 51,25,32768 # Set the clock source to Master 44.1kHz /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=11 2 # Set the preferred sync reference to ADAT2In /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=14 4 # Set the ADAT1 input to be S/PDIF /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=6 0 # Set ADAT1 output to be S/PDIF /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=7 on # Set Professional bit on S/PDIF output /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=8 on Hope this helps!

There's two things I need help with: 1. Is there a way to use the ADAT outputs of the card under pure ALSA, without jackd? For now I start up jackd and get system:playback_1 through system:playback_26 but I would very much like to just use (mplayer-style) hw:0.0 through hw:0.25 - any ideas/any alsa config files that would help me with this? 2. Using jack, I need to start up hdspmixer to hear any sound - without starting it I see all the jackd outputs, all the jackd inputs, the routing is ok - but no sound. Starting up hdspmixer gives me sound on my Behringer ADAT-to-analog outputs. I suppose hdspmixer sets the volume - I'd like to do this without X and, most important, without user interaction. So can I copy/activate the volume settings the same way hdspmixer does from the commandline? Thanks for your help, Christian.

Re: [Alsa-user] Problem: invalid UAC_FEATURE_UNIT descriptor / fireface UCX
Hi Florian, On 21/12/12 23:36, Florian Hanisch wrote: Hi Matthew, did you try to use alsa-mixer ? It was not working when I was trying the fireface ucx with the modified mixer.c some weeks ago. It would be interesting to know whether it is different on your system / with the new patch. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by alsa-mixer, as I do not have a program by that name. $ cat /proc/asound/card1/id Babyface2312334 $ amixer --card 1 Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 130 Mono: Playback 130 [100%] [0.00dB] So, we see that exactly one control is provided. At first, I thought this control had no effect at all, as the audio output only becomes audibly quieter when this control is well below 10%/-60dB. The rest of the range sounds like full volume, which is definitely not correct. So, perhaps there is a bug either in the usb audio driver or in the class-compliance of the RME interfaces. Is there a double dB-mapping or something?

Re: [Alsa-user] Problem: invalid UAC_FEATURE_UNIT descriptor / fireface UCX
Hi all, snip Yes, interesting this never got triggered before. The 7 should be a 6 in v2 case ... Is this bug fixed upstream at this point? I am interested in using an RME Babyface with its new class-compliant mode, and this bug is mentioned by RME as the only thing standing in the way. If it is fixed upstream, would the fix be included in the 3.7 kernel? Or not until 3.8? Thanks! Matt -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

[Alsa-user] Help configuring HDSP9632
Hi guys,
I've been trying off and on for weeks now, but I can't get my RME
HDSP9632 configured under ALSA properly.
(Is it me or does ALSA really not make this an easy process? I can't
find anywhere to get any feedback from the system on configuration
errors. Hell, if you make a typo in the config file, you only find out
because of some scary-looking output from aplay. The docs on the website
seem to be quite old and often conflict with each other and I can't find
any relevant man pages.)
Anyhow, the card works out of the box, insofar as it lets one
application play sound through it at a time. So I'm trying to do the
common thing of configuring dmix to let multiple applications output
sound at once. Nothing fancy, really! At least, at this point.
My /etc/asound.conf file is as follows (pieced together from tuts and
the like):
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm hdsp9632_dmix
hint {
show on
description Default device: Plugs into hdsp9632_dmix.
}
}
ctl.hdsp9632_dmix {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.hdsp9632_dmix {
type dmix
ipc_perm 0660
ipc_key 1025
ipc_key_add_uid false
slave {
pcm hw:0,0
rate 44100
channels 2
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
hint {
show on
description hdsp9632_dmix: The dmix plugin - plugs into
hdsp9632.
}
}
Using this file, I get
# aplay -L
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default
Default device: Plugs into hdsp9632_dmix.
hdsp9632_dmix
hdsp9632_dmix: The dmix plugin - plugs into hdsp9632.
which is what I hope for. But, if I try and play something with vlc, I
get an error message and No AutoSync source for requested rate comes
up in dmesg. The card is currently set to clock master at the same
sample rate as the audio (44.1kHz).
If anyone can shed any light on what I'm doing wrong (and, ideally, some
methodology on configuring ALSA which doesn't require scrabbling around
in the dark!), I will be grateful until the end of time.
Thanks a lot,
Matt
