OK, I too tried your patch (I have cardbus/multiface rev 0xb) and the red light *did* go out but gave the following error message:
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards : Card 0 : Intel 82801CA-ICH3 at 0x1c00, irq 9 Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0x31000000, irq 9 Upload firmware for card hw:1 Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error. Here is what dmesg reports: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:644: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 30 iterations ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:3804: initializing firmware upload ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:522: loading firmware ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:644: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 5000 iterations ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:543: timeout at end of firmware loading However, due to that timeout, initialization didn't complete and there is nothing in /proc/asound/card1/ except id. I then ran it again: $ hdsploader hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards : Card 0 : Intel 82801CA-ICH3 at 0x1c00, irq 9 Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0x31000000, irq 9 Upload firmware for card hw:1 Firmware uploaded for card hw:1 dmesg reports (the extra debugging line was added by me to the kernel driver): ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:3804: initializing firmware upload ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:3969: got past proc init stuff ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:3037: sending all inputs and playback streams to line outs.

However, I get no sound whatsoever. Loading the firmware via Windows, rebooting, and setting up the card identically with amixer *does* yield sound. So it looks like some critical parts for proper communication to the multiface need the proper firmware to work with the rev 0xb interface. Back to trying to load the proper rev11 firmware, it looks like some part of the communication protocol must have changed, or the multiface_firmware_rev11.dat is corrupt. I wonder if there is any way to verify it. jlc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
