Argg...
It seems to work now, after I had it plugged in to my desktop running Win Xp
for a bit. I'm really frustrated at how inconsistent this $1000 soundcard
is. What I mean is, it doesn't really work well at all still, ALSA drivers
are horrible at samplerates above 32k and the OSS driver works with 25+ ms
latency. I'm about to give up on RME...

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

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
