It's a complete show stopper right now, but I am sure we will find a solution very soon. Thomas has made great headway in just the last week. He codes, I test. It's gone for 0% operation to quite a lot of functionality. A little support from RME and I'm pretty sure we'll be there soon. I think it's just the output of the card. While I haven't recorded actually anything to disk using the card recently, all indications in hdspmixer are that recording should be fine. Inputs and playback never stop in the display, while the outputs do. > How > long does it > take before the audio cuts out? Sometimes just seconds. Seldom more than a minute.

Is it port sensitive? Word length I do not know. I will say that OSS emulation (I think) and mono wave files do not seem to trigger the problem on my card. I.e. - most simple games will play sound all night with no problem. Mono wave files will play all night. Stereo wave files played by aplay will kill it almost immediately right now. I have not specifically tested the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit. I will, just to see what happens. > > More importantly is this a known issue that others are having as > well? I do not know of any other Linux-based HDSP 9652 users right now. Paul Davis has one, but I do not think he's using it much. Other than that I do not know right now. I think that when we get this solved we will find more interested people. It's a great card under Windows. > If so > is it only with the HDSP 9652? As far as I know, yes. And possibly only my HDSP 9652, or possibly only my PC. However, I think it's a Linux driver issue of some type as the cord works fine in the same machine under Windows ME. We do not have enough test data to say one way or the other. > Have you brought the firmware up > to the latest > level (is Windows absolutely needed for this?)? Yep, and yep. To upgrade or downgrade firmware on this card you must be under Windows and RME drivers for the current firmware revision must be loaded. > > > I will be very interested to see if your 9632 has any > similar problems or > > not. > > I have a Multiface with the PCI card in stock but not an HDSP > 9652 or I would > attempt to test it for you.

Are you a dealer? (The 'in stock' comment.) I do not think these problems affect the MultiFace or DigiFace products. Just the HDSP 9652. - Mark ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
