The Hammerfall needs a contiguous memory block to work with (I believe it's ~1.7 megs) which must be set aside at boot time. I have seen people put something like: action "Enabling RME9652 memory buffer" modprobe snd-rme9652-mem early in their /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, but I have had good luck simply loading the memory module as a "pre-install" in modules.conf (see below). Note that this modules WAS named "snd-rme9652_mem" in previous versions of ALSA...the underscore has magically become a hyphen for some reason. Here's the sound portion of mine which works with two cards, the pre-install happens right away, and the second card (snd-card-1) is the Hammerfall 9652: ### /etc/modules.conf for SBLive! and Hammerfall # # ALSA stuff ### #pre-install snd-rme9652-mem pre-install soundcore modprobe snd-rme9652-mem options snd-rme9652-mem snd_enable=1,1 alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=2 alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias snd-card-1 snd-rme9652 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 # OSS/Free portion- card #0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # OSS/Free portion- card #1 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss # Options options snd-emu10k1 snd_index=0 snd_id="emu10k1" snd_enable=1 options snd-rme9652 snd_index=1 snd_id="rme9652" snd_enable=1,1 Kevin ===== Kevin Ernste [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.esm.rochester.edu/kevine "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." -MLK __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
